Time spent with a Brandeis professor is one of the perks of BNC membership you won't find anywhere else.
Michael Heller, associate professor of music at Brandeis University, will examine jazz musicians' engagement with the civil rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s.
Professor Heller's talk on this topic for the BNC Phoenix and Tucson chapters won rave reviews! Audience members called it "terrifically informative" and "a perfect event."
