Bob Dylan's American Mythology

With poetry and commentary that offers deep and brave insight into the complexity of the human soul, Bob Dylan inspired generations around the world to more closely examine longstanding power structures, mainstream moral and religious attitudes, universal values and the delicate components of human dignity. This program features imaginative rearrangements of Dylan's music and an array of world-class performers. It tracks Dylan's career through a narrative focusing on his social, spiritual and theological searches.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. September 27, 2026 at Miller Auditorium on the Alfred University campus. Admission is free. The show features international artists Gabrielle Stravelli (vocals), Dan Nadel (guitars, music direction), Hagar Ben-Ari (bass), and Yuval Lion (drums). The event is sponsored by Hillel at Alfred.
