On Silence: Hommage to John Cage

“On Silence,” an event curated by composer Juraj Kojs, marks the centennial year of John Cage’s birth. The program will consist of 13 new compositions, each 4’33” long, referencing Cage’s infamous 1952 opus of the same name in which a pianist sits at the instrument for the assigned duration, occasionally turning score pages and making no intentional sounds.
