Castle Rock

Event Hall A - Castle Rock

Emerging as a powerful force on the American music scene in the 1950s, Rock music has evolved over the decades.

It now includes many variations that sound pretty different from the likes of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Little Richard. Join Active Minds as we return to the roots of Rock ‘n’ Roll and trace its history and cultural impact through the years.
