McCartney Times

A composer and producer who started putting together Beatles lectures in 2011 as a way to entertain his musician friends, Scott Freiman started listening to the Fab Four when he was 11 years old.

The Beatles provided Freiman, a classically trained pianist, his first exposure to rock ‘n’ roll, and he immediately shifted his focus.

In January, Freiman makes his fourth visit in six years to the Cleveland Museum of Art. He’ll give two multimedia presentations in which he “examines and analyzes the many innovative songwriting and production techniques used by the Fab Four.” Over the years, his lectures here have drawn a few thousand fans, and the first four talks have recently been videotaped for showings in movie theaters across the country.

When he comes to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Freiman will premiere a brand new show, “Roll Up! Deconstructing the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour,” and also reprise 2013’s “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Deconstructing the Early Beatles.” Neither of these lectures has been recorded or filmed. Here’s what he has to say about each program.
