Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Northwestern University Library is pleased to announce the recipients of the 
John Cage Research Grant for 2014-2015. This annual competitive grant, 
established in 2013 and awarded this year for the first time, promotes the 
study of John Cage's life, music, art, and ideas through the use of 
Northwestern's John Cage Collection. Over the coming year, the grant will 
support three projects:

Alyssa M. Cottle (Occidental College) -- Cage's ideas and attitudes on 
improvisation after 1970
Glenn Freeman (OgreOgress Productions) -- To produce commercial recordings 
based on original materials in the Cage Collection
Abigail Sebaly (Walker Art Center) -- Merce Cunningham Dance Company's 1964 
world tour

For each of these projects, the grant will be used to cover transportation, 
accommodations, and other costs associated with visiting Northwestern for 
extensive on-site use of the Cage Collection. The call for applications for 
next year's grant will be announced near the end of 2014. More information on 
the John Cage Research Grant is available at:
