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.
