Date of change: 3 Jul 12 - T1694164995

Prom 47 - Cage Centenary Celebration

Work:: Prom 47 (S5978)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Cage Centenary Celebration (T1694164995)

To mark the centenary of John Cage's birth, Ilan Volkov has curated a programme that reflects the composer's iconoclastic thinking, fertile imagination and arresting humour. John Tilbury, who has for decades been associated with Cage's work tonight plays the exquisitely beautiful Concerto for Prepared Piano and Orchestra. Cassette players and plucked cactuses are just two examples of the blindingly original yet almost naively simple thinking that saw Cage - wittingly or otherwise - upturn practically every musical rule in the book. Finish time approx. 23:15
