2012 sees the centenary of one of the most influential and innovative creative minds in 20th-century music, John Cage. In this magical late-night concert, EXAUDI introduce Cage as a creator of ravishingly beautiful, mysterious music, from a spatial performance of Four² to the “plain harmony” of Hymns and Variations.

Exaudi sing Cage at Spitalfields Music Summer Festival

Paul Kilbey, 21st June

Almost as remarkable as John Cage's actual music is how varied it is. Nothing obvious connects The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs, a beautifully simple four-note piece for soprano and piano lid, to Four Solos for voice, a late work in which four singers independently do a series of strange things at the same time.
