A Celebratory Note
So long as we were on the subject of duration in music earlier this week, it's worth noting
a tone change today in the 639-year-long performance of John
Cage's As Slow As Possible at the Halberstadt Cathedral in Germany.
The change occurred at 3.33pm CEST and was followed by a celebration in
the Halberstadt town square and a concert featuring a composition by
Edward Liske. (You can hear the current tone of the performance online here.)
In September of 2008, as part of the project, a master class on the
interpretation of new music will be offered and the first John Cage Award
for the Interpretation of New Music awarded. Teachers of the master class
will be members of the Kairos Quartet, and the proposed repertoire includes
Berio's Sequenze, Ferneyhough's String Quartet and
Lachenmann's Gran Torso.
More information on the master class – and on the ASLSP
organ project in Halberstadt – is available here.
