“I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas.
I'm frightened of the old ones.”
You probably heard of John Cage well before people the world over celebrated
the 100th anniversary of his birth in September. Since then, Cage has
re-entered the popular vernacular and inspires a fresh batch of art, cartoons,
music, and more.
Join Booksmith and Salon97 for a night of all things John Cage -- music, art,
poems, and some of the art he inspired. Come listen to (and see) some of his
creations and perform one, too! We’ll also share samples of work inspired by
John Cage’s groundbreaking ideas.
Salon97 is a community-based organization
that makes classical music inclusive, educational — and awesome — for people
with an interest in arts and culture, but who find the formal nature of the
concert hall intimidating. Through a series of curated, themed listening
parties and other hosted events, attendees learn about and discuss classical
music, form new friendships and business relationships, and have a great time!
