Arrington Mormon History Lecture: Music & The Unspoken Truth

Join award-winning writer and historian Jared Farmer for a performative lecture including the soundtrack with live organ. Farmer's version of the Arrington Mormon History Lecture will be an homage to the "Music & the Spoken Word" radio show, and a meditation on the relationship between landscape, religion, and sound.
