When John Cage, together with David Tudor and Christian Wolff came to Darmstadt in 1959, he shook up the scene with his Concert for Piano & Orchestra. Come and hear an authentic performance with Joseph Kubera (who worked with Cage since the 1970s), under the direction of Petr Kotik (who worked with Cage since the early 1960s). Kotik’s Kontrabandt was commissioned by Karlheinz Stockhausen and the WDR Electronic Music Studion and realized there in 1967.
The program at ISSUE Project Room complements S.E.M. Ensemble's concert at the Paula Cooper Gallery on December 21. There, we will perform For 6 or 7 Players (1958) by Christian Wolff, in a transcription by Cage. The piece was believed to be lost for many years and was recently discovered it in Kotik’s archive. The program will include the most recent works by Wolff and Kotik, Why Patterns? by Morton Feldman and 6-voice Fugue by J. S. Bach.
