Barbara Zadina (COM’83) of Washington, D.C., writes, “After years overseas as a policy communications consultant, I came back to D.C. and produced the eight-hour television series Soundbreaking: Stories from the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music. It is the last project of legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin. Since premiering in the US on PBS,Soundbreaking has been nominated for six major awards, including an Emmy and a 2018 Grammy for Best Music Film. If you love music, you will want to see this series, available on Hulu or iTunes. We interviewed more than 250 artists and partnered with the Grammy Museum and Steven Van Zandt’s Teach Rock Foundation to create an extensive educational initiative—access the free teaching modules at www.teachrock.org/book/soundbreaking/. What a ride!”
