SHAKESPEARE, HE'S IN THE ALLEY: THE ARTISTRY OF BOB DYLAN presented by BY ALAN Boye

THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2017 1:30 pm to 3 pm at CATAMOUNT ARTS, EASTERN AVE ST. JOHNSBURY

Unlike poetry of instrumental music, listening to Bob Dylan requires a triangle of appreciations: words, music and vioicing. So when people argue whether or not "Dylan is a "great poet" they are simply missing the point. By recognizing the vast poetic and musical traditions from which Dylan draws and understanding how he has pushed the boundaries of those traditions is to begin to appreciatethe artistry of his work.

St. Johnsbury Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of the University of Vermont presents the Spring 2017 Lecture Series on a variety of topics. Shakespeare, He's in the Alley: The Artistry of Bob Dylan is the seventh lecture of the series. Osher provides "Intellectually stimulating learning opportunities for adults in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom".

Thursdays, 1:30 pm to 3 pm at the Catamount Arts on Eastern Ave. St. Johnsbury Dues are $30 for a series of 8 lectures. Non-members may attend any single session for $6.
