PBS Host Scott Freiman Embarks on “Freiman Over Canada” —
Driving Across the Country Deconstructing Iconic Beatles and Pink Floyd Albums
August 21–October 1, 2025 — From Vancouver to Nova Scotia, composer and musicologist Scott Freiman—host of the acclaimed PBS series Deconstructing the Beatles—will be driving across Canada to present a trio of captivating multimedia lectures that dive deep into three of the most iconic albums in rock history.
Titled Freiman Over Canada (Tournée 2025 de Déconstruire la Musique), the tour will bring Freiman’s celebrated presentations to audiences in theaters from coast to coast: Deconstructing Rubber Soul, a 60th anniversary celebration of the Beatles’ transitional 1965 album that helped redefine pop music; Deconstructing Abbey Road, an in-depth exploration of the band’s final masterpiece and its iconic side-two medley; and Deconstructing The Dark Side of the Moon, a track-by-track analysis of Pink Floyd’s groundbreaking concept album on time, madness, and the human condition.
“I’m thrilled to bring my Deconstructing the Music lectures to audiences across this amazing country while exploring the landscapes, culture, and spirit that make Canada so unique,” says Freiman.

Roxy Theatre, Saskatoon, SK – August 27 & 28
Rio Theatre, Vancouver, BC – September 1

Each show is a deep dive into the songwriting, production, and creative stories behind the music. Using rare audio, video, and behind-the-scenes insights, Freiman brings audiences into the studios where these legendary albums came to life.
"Annapolis Royal is full of lifelong Beatles fans, so we're very excited to have Scott Freiman come to King’s Theatre with his Deconstructing Abbey Road show. It's a fascinating journey through one of the greatest albums ever made, and I know our audience will leave with a whole new appreciation for the music.”
Freiman is the creator of Deconstructing the Music, host of the PBS television series Deconstructing the Beatles, and is featured in eleven Deconstructing the Beatles films. His lectures have been presented to sold-out audiences across North America. He taught a semester-long course on the Beatles at Yale University and is the co-author, with noted Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack, of the forthcoming books The Beatles in Red: 1962–1966 and The Beatles in Blue: 1967–1970, to be published by Bloomsbury Press.
