George Harrison Revisited
The magical journey of the Beatles era returns to the Hofstra stage when The Godfrey Townsend Band, with musicians from the Alan Parsons Project, join the Indian Kirtan ensemble Gauravani and Kindred Spirits to perform “Here Comes the Sun” – The Musical, Mystical Journey of George Harrison. This celebration of the music and spiritualism of the legendary musician commemorates the 10th anniversary of Harrison’s passing. Singer-guitarist Godfrey Townsend, with Hofstra Professor Joshua M. Greene as host, leads the dynamic program, which features those beloved tunes from The Beatles’ songbook, with Indian Kirtan music and meditative chanting.
