American Symphony Orchestra – The Cage Concert

At a concert in 1949 legendary American composer John Cage heard a piece by Anton Webern that so moved him he had to leave the hall. On his way out he encountered composer Morton Feldman doing the same, and the two became fast friends and collaborators. For his 100th birthday ASO features some of Cage’s important later works (two of which are New York premieres), as well as works by Webern, Feldman and another Cage inspiration, Erik Satie. Presented in conjunction with the John Cage Trust.
