Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Hello, all, 

If you’re going to be in Europe in late September (or want an excuse to go), this might be of interest. (In addition to Wolff, TWO will be performing Cage and Feldman.) 

The Orpheus Institute (Ghent, Belgium; http://www.orpheusinstituut.be/en) announces “Christian Wolff at Orpheus,” two study days September 28 and 29, 2015, with the composer in attendance. Included is a keynote talk by Philip Thomas (University of Huddersfield) and an open rehearsal by TWO (Joseph Houston, Aisha Orazbayeva) of American experimental works, including a new composition by Wolff. A performers’ workshop will be held on Tuesday afternoon (29th) at which appropriate repertoire can be presented and coached by Thomas and Wolff. Proposals for papers and presentations are also invited for sessions on Monday (28th). Interested performers or presenters should contact William Brooks () for further details. There is no fee, but the study days are followed by the Orpheus Research Festival, in which Christian Wolff is also participating; for that there is a fee (indicated on the website). Registration in advance is advised; contact the Orpheus Institute after 17 August for details.
