Tribute Edition for John Cage Centennial

This third edition of Bruissements du Cercle series pays tribute to the illustrious iconoclast composer of the American avant-garde, John Cage (1912-1992). His eclectic compositional choices in instrumentation, use of electoacoustic and amplified instruments, eastern philosophies and chance compositions have revolutionized the music of his time leaving a rich heritage and body of work, one hundred years after his birth.

The co-directors of the series, Gabriel Dharmoo and Solomiya Moroz, will share the event with Diego Espinosa (percussion), James O'Callaghan (electronics) and Katelyn Clark (toy piano) to interpret Cage's Water Walk, Aria and Fontana Mix, Suite for Toy Piano and Variations as well as a composition by Solomiya Moroz, Toy Memory, a graphic score re-imagined for the event with elements of choice composition. Also performance artist, Michelle Lacombe will reinterpret different works from Fluxus movement, an artistic movement from the 60s that was largely influenced by John Cage and his philosophies, adding to the rich heritage of Cage's legendary contributions highlighted during this evening.
