A John Cage Celebration
So Percussion returns to Stanford with an instrument-filled stage for our John Cage/Merce Cunningham mini-festival, joined by M.C. Schmidt of the electronica duo Matmos and composer/electronics artist Cenk Ergun. John Cage was both musical “father” and key aesthetic influence for So — it’s only fitting, then, that this ensemble should return with a program of Cage’s late works and new compositions written in his honor.
