John Cage Town Hall Concert Reclaimed, Sunday afternoon

The final event of the festival was a biggy - a revival of John Cage's controversial 1958 New York Town Hall concert. The first segment presented a brief history of Cage's career from the 1930s to 1950s. Interesting to see the progression from 'relatively straight' to 'quite odd'. I particularly liked Imaginary Landscape No 1 (very early electronic work) and Music for Carillon 1, 2 and 3 (wonderfully reimagined for music box).
