Experience the astonishing sound world of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes with Tau Wey, Head of Keyboard. This cycle of twenty pieces for prepared piano is inspired by Indian philosophy and the eight permanent emotions. Cage transforms the piano into a miniature percussion orchestra by means of inserted objects, producing a kaleidoscope of novel sounds. It is a landmark of 20th-century music, mystical, meditative, and profound.
Running time 1 hour.
Seating up to 90, the Recital Room is a flexible space for more intimate arts performances, seminars and presentations. It has an excellent acoustic, ideal for chamber music, song recital and solo instruments.
