Recordings of Quest’s Fall 2024 Seminars

For those who are unable to attend our fall program in person, Quest will again make available recordings of some of the seminars. Seminars to be recorded this fall will be announced here shortly before the program begins.

Recordings of each week’s presentations will be made available on the Quest website within a few days after the presentations occur and all of the recordings will remain available for 30 days after the fall program ends, that is, until December 1st, 2024. These recordings will be found by selecting the “View Selected Recordings of Quest Seminars” button above. These recordings are offered free of charge, but you can support this effort and the Quest program more generally by selecting “Donate to Quest” button above.

For more than forty years Quest for Learning has offered people of retirement age in the Lancaster community an opportunity to attend a continuing series of educational and enlightening seminars. Presented in six-week sessions twice a year, the seminars cover a wide range of topics — history, literature, current affairs, art, music, science, mathematics, politics, law and many others — and are presented by leading local experts in their fields — educators, public officials, business and community leaders, writers, artists and musicians. Quest participants encounter a unique adventure in learning, experiencing mental stimulation and growth, the excitement of new knowledge, and the pleasure of gathering with old friends and making new ones.
