A Bob Dylan Retrospective performed by John Meldrum

VISIONS OF JOHANNA is a retrospective of the songs of Bob Dylan conceived and performed by John Meldrum a theatrical-concert setting. John Meldrum’s vocal and guitar arrangements are in no way meant to be imitations; rather they are investigations into the harmonies and melodies of Dylan’s songs that bring out all the richness and subtleties contained therein.

VISIONS OF JOHANNA est une rétrospective des chansons de Bob Dylan conçues et interprétées par John Meldrum dans un cadre théâtral-concert. Les arrangements vocaux et de guitare de John Meldrum ne sont en aucun cas censés être des imitations ; ce sont plutôt des enquêtes sur les harmonies et les mélodies des chansons de Dylan qui font ressortir toute la richesse et les subtilités qu'elles contiennent.

I've been working on this show for just over a year now, and I'm very excited to bring to you my visions of our greatest living songwriter Bob Dylan.

Je travaille sur ce spectacle depuis plus d'un an, et je suis très heureux de vous présenter mes visions de notre plus grand auteur-compositeur vivant, Bob Dylan.

We're having a relaxed sing together as we sing our common repertoire including

ATOM HEART MOTHER with the ATLA Choir + Professional Brass Ensemble + Rock Group

In partnership with Le Réacteur and the conservatory of Issy Les Moulineaux, we will look at the songs of Pink Floyd from 1966 to 1972 to examine the road the group takes from their beginnings to their enduring masterpiece Dark Side of the Moon in 1973. We’ll play you the songs, and then after each song, we’ll talk about the song structures, harmonies, and the lyrics; the goal is to try to understand the process of creation for a rock group that was more or less democratic a certain lapse of time, to see if we can get into a discussion on the creativity between the musicians. I’m very happy to present to you today’s musicians from the ATLA Music school in Paris.  Opening Act from ATLA: Dorian Gamba: Drums Sam Jamin: Bass Cedric Selzer: Keys Jamie Kent: Sounds + 2nd guitar Riccardo Morgante and Cassandre Oostek: vox Set List: ASTRONOMY DOMINE SEE EMILY PLAY SET THE SONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN THE NILE SONG ECHOES

The Highlites will perform excerpts of John Meldrum's musical theatre piece The Lost Letters about the life and time of Mozart's coming of age in the 18th century.

The ATLA music school is having a special Open Doors evening on Wednesday May 30th. The Highlites choir (which has been rehearsing at ATLA for two years every Wednesday night) will perform selections of The Lost Letters Pop-Opera by John Meldrum at 9pm on the Brooklyn stage upstairs for your listening pleasure. The point of The Lost Letters (as with much of Meldrum's work) is to show that the public's perception of music as "Classical" or "Pop" is outdated, archaic and ultimately useless. There are two kinds of music: good and bad. Whether you like something is completely personal; therefore the criteria that count are based upon the execution of the music and the emotions that it procures. If you have an open mind, open ears and an open heart, come and listen to The Lost Letters! Afterwards, we will all go out and have a drink and listen to your comments on our work!   L'école de musique ATLA organise une soirée portes ouvertes spéciale le mercredi 30 mai. Les Highlites (qui répètent tous les mercredis soirs à l'école ATLA depuis 2 ans) interpréteront des extraits de The Lost Letters Pop-Opera de John Meldrum à 21h sur la scène de Brooklyn à l'étage pour votre plus grand plaisir. Le but de The Lost Letters (comme avec une grande partie du travail de Meldrum) est de montrer que la perception du public de la musique comme "Classique" ou "Pop" est dépassée, archaïque et finalement inutile. Il y a deux types de musique: bonne et mauvaise. Quand vous aimez quelque chose, c'est complètement personnel; donc les critères qui comptent sont l'exécution de la musique et les émotions qu'elle vous procure. Si vous avez un esprit ouvert, des oreilles ouvertes et un cœur ouvert, venez découvrir The Lost Letters! Ensuite, nous allons tous boire un verre et écouter vos commentaires sur notre travail!

Come and listen to the creative work of my students from their Songwriting classes at ATLA as well as the work of Jean Jaque Nyssen's French song creative class.   All are welcome!

Michel Galmel and his family invite you to come to La Ferme des Ruelles and taste the homemade products of Normandy including the cider that makes this farm famous, but also the regional specialties that make Normandy such a pleasant place to live.   John Meldrum and his friends Guy, Brigitte and Véronique will entertain you between mouthfuls with original music by John, but also some light classical and songs from musicals including the French classical Starmania.   It's sure to be a wonderful night, don't miss it!

I will be hosting the second bi-monthly Jam Session for singers and players of all sorts. Come on by, there will a piano and a couple of guitars and some singers. All are welcome!

I have been teaching music at the ATLA school in Paris since 2006. It is not only a great place to learn music from the Pop-Rock end of things, but it's also a great place to meet like minded young musicians from all over the world. I've had students from Mexico, Brazil, Canada, the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, and even China who have come to study singing and Songwriting with me here in Paris. The Open Doors day this Saturday April 7th, 2018 promises to be a special event with the ATLA chorale performing 5 songs, and some of my Songwriting students premiering their new songs written in my Songwriting class this year. I also will perform a song or two and will be available to answer any questions you might have about my classes or the ATLA experience in general. I'll also be able to inform you about our partnership in London with the ICMP music school there. See you there!
