Ekmeles Performs John Cage at the Avant Music Festival Reviewed

From NYTimes.com:

On Saturday, in the small auditorium of Wild Project in the East Village, the Avant Music Festival presented the complete choral works of John Cage. The program consisted of five pieces and it took the contemporary vocal music ensemble Ekmeles all of 70 minutes to perform them. Given Cage’s predilection for nonconventional “found” instruments like bathtubs, seashells and amplified cactuses, it may surprise that he wrote works for vocal ensemble at all — let alone one with so quaint a title as the 1979 “Hymns and Variations,” which closed the program.
