Yes, composer John Corigliano, wrote his own musical scores to some of Bob Dylan’s best loved songs.

That is so “I’m Not There.”

As for me, I am completely fascinated by this. Apparently, prior to writing this song cycle, the composer had never heard the original Dylan tunes.

He must have been under a classical music rock. Still, these are his fresh takes on the lyrics.

Interesting. I can’t wait to see what he did with them.

So don’t miss acclaimed singer Amy Burton singing John Corigliano’s Mr. Tambourine Man, as part of the Brooklyn Philarmonic’s 2008 Corigliano Festival at the Brooklyn Public Library (Grand Army Plaza branch).

What a show! This performance will be at the library’s brand new S. Stevan Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture (at the Brooklyn Public Library) on Saturday February 9th at 4 p.m.

Hear the wonderful Amy Burton in performance.
