Celebrating the 100th anniversary of John Cage’s birth, REDCAT hosts two nights of rarely played music—some of which will be performed for the first time in Los Angeles.
The New Century Players, the Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts’ professional new music ensemble, joins forces with the CalArts Orchestra to open the festival with a program of large-scale pieces by the American visionary, including Dance/4Orchestras, Ryoanji, and Renga.
The New Century Players center the festival’s second evening on the Cage’s seminal graphic score Fontana Mix—a telling example of the composer’s fascination with the ideas of indeterminacy, chance, and silence. In addition to the original Fontana Mix tape music composition itself, the program consists of instrumental group works composed using the Fontana Mix score by James Tenney, David Behrman, Cornelius Cardew, and others responding to Cage’s benchmark.
Program for February 15: (not in program order)
Fourteen (1990)
Ryoanji for ensemble and for flute solo (1984)
Dance/4 Orchestras (1982)
Etcetera (1973)
Renga (1976)
General Admission - $20 Students - $16
