📚 Lecture: "Bob Dylan's New York"

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Tom Rizzuto

Join us for an illuminating evening with Dr. Tom Rizzuto as we explore the enigmatic period of Bob Dylan's life in New York City. Often regarded as one of the most creatively vibrant times for the legendary musician, the details of his experiences during this era have been clouded by hearsay and conflicting narratives.

Arriving in New York amid dramatic cultural and musical transformation, Dylan mingled with iconic figures like Woody Guthrie, Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, and Pete Seeger. This lecture will delve into his relationships with the music, art, and people that surrounded him, as well as how the commercialization of the scene affected his artistry.

Dr. Tom Rizzuto is a professor of music history, guitar, and media at Molloy University and SUNY Old Westbury. With degrees in music education and musicology, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership for Diverse Learning Communities, he focuses on the intersections between music and cultural shifts. His work has been featured in notable publications such as Discovery Magazine and History Magazine, and he is a native New Yorker residing on Long Island with his family.

Don’t miss this chance to uncover the story behind Bob Dylan's creative journey in one of the world's most iconic cities!
