Back for the sixth time by popular demand, the GRAMMY Museum invites you to the Clive Davis Theater to experience The Record Theater. This special installment of The Record Theater will pay tribute to six-time GRAMMY winner Sir George Martin, who rescued The Beatles from obscurity and produced the greatest and most popular songs the world has ever heard. The audience will listen to iconic tracks featuring The Beatles, Shirley Bassey, Billy J. Kramer, and more. After the last song is played, special guests Willie Aron, award-winning film/TV composer, Brian Kehew, co-author of Recording The Beatles, and Chris Carter, host of Breakfast with the Beatles on KLOS, will join Record Theater creator Marvin Etzioni onstage for a discussion.
