Kickoff/Preview for A John Cage Centenary Celebration
March 30, 2012 at 6018North
April 13-15, 2012 (full series - across Chicago)
This creative kick-off at 6018NORTH presents a shortened version of Cage's rarely performed Variations #5 and 59 1/2, a piece for cello. The event allows press to meet the artists and composers bringing Cage's works to the city to celebrate the work of this influential composer, musician, and artist. John Cage, a co-founder of Fluxus, was born in 1912 and this celebration of his music - including early and later and featuring some rarely performed works - will be presented in various venues throughout the city during the weekend of April 13-15.
