MUSE/IQUE, the Pasadena-based performing arts organization led by Founder and Artistic Director Rachael Worby, continues its 2021-2022 season of L.A. Composed: A Festival of Los Angeles Music with “Dylan Goes Hollywood” at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens on August 18 and 19, and at the Skirball Cultural Center, August 22.
From “Tambourine Man” to “Knockin on Heaven’s Door,” Bob Dylan’s music and lyrics evoke powerful images and stories in our minds like no other songwriter in history. Dylan’s music has been featured hundreds of times in movies and paired with some of the most powerful and striking moments on screen, and he found himself drawn to the City of Angels time and time again.
Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, 10 Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award.
Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”
In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”
In this performance, MUSE/IQUE explores Bob Dylan on the West Coast and his quintessentially cinematic songs through the Hollywood lens.

With L.A. Composed, MUSE/IQUE tells the story of Los Angeles, celebrating the intersections where musical magic was made, in the spirit of rediscovery and radical celebration.
“Los Angeles has always been a city of dreamers and doers; a collector of transplants, a haven for explorers; a bubbling hub of innovation and wild creativity. What happens in Los Angeles can only happen here,” says a MUSE/IQUE statement on their website.
This season, MUSE/IQUE offers multiple showings of each event in order to bring the live music experience to as many people as possible. Current members have admission to the entire season. To become a member, or to renew or upgrade your membership, visit https://muse-ique.secure.
