Danny Bedrosian '03 is music director for the pathbreaking Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award-winning funk band George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic (as well as their current keyboardist), and author of The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference, 1956-2023, on the band’s musical catalogue.
In November of 2023, he brought four other members of the band (Lige Curry, Benjamin Cowen, Kevin Oliver and musical legend George Clinton) to campus for a once-in-a-lifetime concert for the UNH and local community in the Granite State Room, providing a living history lesson on the band's musical evolution and decades of influence.
While on campus, Bedrosian also conducted a master class in PCAC and gave a talk about the history of Parliament Funkadelic in Hamilton Smith.
The Saul O Sidore Memorial Lecture Series was established in 1965 in memory of Saul O Sidore of Manchester, New Hampshire. The purpose of the series is to offer the University community and the state of New Hampshire programs that raise critical and sometimes controversial issues facing our society. The University of New Hampshire Center for the Humanities sponsors the programs. Lectures are free and open to the public.
