The Cycle S 2022/2023 concert season opens in the USA:
John Cage – a proponent of aleatoric experimental music and lover of art and mycology.
Elliott Carter – graduated in music and English from Harvard University, the focal point of his art was atonal music and his compositions are among some of the most demanding for listeners. He was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music and won a Grammy Award in 1993.
We will introduce the chamber music of Cage and Carter using four compositions from various creative periods of the two composers with substantial time gaps. John Cage wrote Three Pieces for Flute Duet when he was 23, Elliott Carter composed his Oboe Quartet – for Oboe and String Trio when he was 93.
