John Cage Child of Tree for Amplified Cactus, Four for String Quartet, 27'10.554" For a Percussionist & String Player with 45 for a Speaker - The Ten Thousand Things, 433These concerts are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear the music of Cage in a perfect environment of 50 pieces created by Cages friend Robert Rauschenberg at the Gemini G.E.L. studio here in Los Angeles. The Rauschenberg works are from the Stone Moon Series, Samarkand Series and Cardbird Series, and feature the first poster for Earth Day. The first concert will include a performance of Cages landmark silent piece, 433, a perfect finale to the Zen intent of his music. Possibly the most beautiful and peaceful concert one can experience, Litany for a Whale and Postcard from Heaven will provide a moving portrait of this iconic American composer as we begin Cage 2012, a three year series culminating in his centennial year.Pre-Concert Talk at 7:30 pmCost : General $38, Senior $28, Student $10
