The Jewish Contribution to Bob Dylan DESCRIPTION:Storied returns to The Berman with an all new live concert experience\,\nSTORIED: The Jewish Contribution to Bob Dylan \, exploring the life\, music\,\nand meaning of Bob Dylan. Through a powerful blend of storytelling and live\nperformance\, this show uncovers the Jewish roots\, biblical influences\, and\ncultural forces that shaped one of the most influential artists of our time.\nFrom the folk scene to the poets\, the Beats\, the outcasts and outlaws\, and the\nBible\, audiences will experience how Dylan’s words became a bridge between\nancient tradition and modern music. Having been a thread running through each\nof Storied’s first five shows\, Dylan now takes center stage in a production\nthat brings together the stories\, songs\, and influences that have been hiding\nin plain sight\, but are rarely explored in one place. \nFor this special performance\, Storied founder Benji Rosenzweig is joined by\njournalist and cultural commentator Eve Barlow as co narrator\, adding a\ndynamic new perspective to the storytelling experience. Together\, they guide\naudiences through Dylan’s journey\, from protest anthems and biblical imagery\nto questions of identity\, purpose\, and authenticity. More than a concert\, this\nis an exploration of how music\, meaning\, and heritage intersect\, and an\ninvitation to reflect on how each of us can use our own voice and talents to\nmake an impact. \nThis concert will spotlight different aspects of Jewish identity as it\nintersects with the artist’s career\, exploring themes of community\,\nspirituality\, and resilience. “Music has always been a bridge between\ncultures\, and…music resonates deeply throughout the Jewish experience\,” says\nBenji Rosenzweig\, STORIED. Co-Creator and host of the evening. “We are\nexcited to continue creating a space where these stories can be heard and\ncelebrated through the universal language of music.” \nThis unforgettable evening promises a journey through music and storytelling\nas we honor the bonds between Jewish culture and reggae. In a setting similar\nto MTV _ Unplugged _meets VH1 Storytellers \, the band and Benji will go\nback and forth between storytelling and music. Don’t miss out on this fourth\nsession of STORIED\, a concert series audiences are raving about: \n“This program was great. The music was AMAZING. We were all rocking out and\nthey could not have been more fabulous.

There\, in communion with the\naudience\, this other Mozart at last tells her story. \nAbout The Production:\nCreated\, written and performed by (http://sylviamilo.com/)\, and\nnow also performed by (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2533285/)\,\nTHE OTHER MOZART had a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run in NYC at HERE\nArts Center\, earning Drama Desk and Off Broadway Alliance nominations\, and 8\nNew York Innovative Theatre (NYIT) nominations\, including Outstanding Full\nLength Script\, winning Outstanding Solo Performance and Original Music.\nTHE OTHER MOZART is based on facts\, stories and lines pulled directly from the\nMozart family’s humorous and heartbreaking letters. Along with music composed\nby her famous brother and Marianna Martines (a female composer who inspired\nNannerl). Original music was written for the play by (https://www.nathandavis.com/) and (http://www.phyllischen.net/) – featured composers of Lincoln Center’s\nMostly Mozart Festival\, BAM and the International Contemporary Ensemble. \nOur history is made of the stories we choose to tell. With Nannerl Mozart we\ncan actually trace what happened\, what were the forces that silenced and\nerased her. Nannerl’s story has been relegated for centuries as a footnote in\nher brother’s story. \nIt is important today because it is not a tale of a singular villain thwarting\nand oppressing a female genius: rather it is but one example of a systematic\ntragedy happening innumerable times throughout history\, and it is symbolic of\nso many other stories. \nHer story shifts the perspective\, bringing this other Mozart\, a female genius\,\ninto the history of the great – inspiring us to question the history we know\nand to search for more untold stories. \nDrama Desk Award nomination: Outstanding Sound Design in a Play\nNew York Innovative Theatre Awards: Outstanding Solo Performance (Sylvia\nMilo)\, Outstanding Original Music (Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen)\n8 New York Innovative Theatre nominations:**Outstanding Production\, Full\nLength Script\, Solo Performance\, Direction\,**Original Music\, Sound Design\,\nSet Design\, Costume Design.\nOff Broadway Alliance Award nomination: Best Solo Performance (Sylvia\nMilo) \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/17110 URL:https://thejdetroit.org/event/the-other-mozart-by-sylvia-milo/ LOCATION:The Berman Center For The Performing Arts 6600 W Maple Rd\, West Bloomfield Twp CATEGORIES:Adults,Arts & Culture,History,Music,Parking (free),Wheelchair Accessible ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thejdetroit.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/26.BERMAN.TOM-Jlive-960x600-8nJ72e.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Berman Center for the Performing Arts":MAILTO:theberman@jccdet.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20270321T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20270321T180000 DTSTAMP:20260911T095043Z CREATED:20260907T093620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T095043Z UID:10001732-1805646600-1805652000@thejdetroit.org SUMMARY:JFamily & Aish Detroit's Great Big Hamantaschen Bake DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Purim at The J with a fun-filled family afternoon at our Great Big\nHamantaschen Bake with JFamily and Aish!
