Experience the timeless poetry of Bob Dylan reimagined through the elegance of piano. At this year’s Flower Piano in San Francisco’s Botanical Garden, acclaimed composer and pianist Paul Godwin brings Dylan’s classic songs into a new light—intimate, soulful, and deeply expressive. Known for his inventive interpretations and decades of musical artistry, Godwin transforms familiar anthems into lyrical piano landscapes, inviting audiences to hear Dylan’s work afresh. Amid the blooming beauty of the gardens, his performance weaves together memory, melody, and nature, offering a rare chance to savor Dylan’s legacy in a serene and inspired setting.

Across the 55-acres of the Botanical Garden featured Flower Piano performers will include familiar favorites such as Tammy Hall, Sarah Cahill, Serene, Diana Gameros, as well as several new artists and special performances.
