John Cage 
Cage 2012
 
Join us for this national celebration of America's groundbreaking composer, John Cage! 
 

SOUTHWEST CHAMBER MUSIC

presents Cage 2012, a festival celebrating the centennial of composer John Cage, March 3 through March 24.

 

The compositions of the Los Angeles-born composer swirl with controversy, but few composers have been as influential in the dance, visual arts and musical worlds. His collaborations with Merce Cunningham, Robert Rauschenberg, Yoko Ono, and many others, are legendary. Hear for yourself a range of his works celebrating his centennial year.
