Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Mode Admin <>]

We would like to invite you to a very special event of musical rarities – including 2 unpublished works – by John Cage and Morton Feldman, by way of Erik Satie. Performed by Aki Takahashi, who worked closely with both Cage and Feldman, and one of the great interpreters of Feldman's music.

These musicians will then record this program for Mode Records on the days following the concert.

Please let us know if you can join us for this concert and we will leave a ticket.

Best regards
