Bob Dylan: From Rolling Stone to Nobel Laureate
In celebration of our living Nobel Laureate in literature we will attend to examples of Dylan’s work throughout his career, including his Nobel address. Via sound recordings, screen footage and our live voices we will discuss musical traditions and influences on Dylan, his place among his contemporaries and meaning in the songs. Participants will have some say in song selection and, if they like, can perform in what we hope will be a free-wheeling environment.
