Woodstock: a Fifty Year Retrospective

Past event
May 23, 2019, 7 to 8:30 PM

The summer of 1969 is best remembered in one word. Woodstock. Fifty years ago, dozens of musicians played, but it was the four hundred thousand people that came from across the country who created the lore and legacy that is Woodstock.

Pilgrims of Woodstock, presents the never before published pictures of photographer Richard Bellak and John Kane's interviews with the people who attended the event. Come see the images and hear the stories Thursday, May 30th at 7:00 at the Rochester Public Library.

Author, John Kane, is a professor teaching media, communications and visual arts courses. Photographer Richard F. Bellak aimed his lens at the Woodstock audience for much of the event. The result is a beautifully atmospheric collection of never before published images capturing the essence of what it was like to attend this life-changing event.
