For John Cage by Morton Feldman

Monday 8 October 2012

Morton Feldman: For John Cage for violin & piano
No interval

Celebrating John Cage's centennial year, Darragh Morgan and John Tilbury perform Feldman's late, great iconic work 'For John Cage'.

They first played this piece together at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 2006 and since then have performed it throughout Europe and released on DVD Audio with Matchless Recordings to great acclaim. Both Morgan and Tilbury are renowned exponents of new music.

Please note, this concert lasts approximately 80 minutes with no interval and the artist has requested that we do not allow any late admissions.

'John Tilbury's incredibly subtle, understated pianism seems ideal for these scores... Darragh Morgan's technique in For John Cage (1982) enables the high harmonics to exhibit iron security in conjunction with other-worldly fantasy.' (TEMPO)
