A day of the unexpected, as we explore the pioneering spirit of adventure and individualism that pervades so much twentieth century American music. The day will include a realisation of Earle Brown’s December 1952, one of the earliest graphic compositions, alongside John Cage’s notorious Water Music and Varèse’s Déserts. All of this, plus works by Cowell and Feldman and a selection of outstanding student compositions. The day will also include the opportunity to take part in performances of other graphic scores at 4:00pm, plus experimental improvisation from KAIROS at 6:30pm.
