By presenting the work of John Cage and Wolfgang Rihm as focal points of the festival, MaerzMusik 2012 creates an experimental setting in which two polar positions on musical aesthetics confront one another. In 2012 we will celebrate John Cage's 100th birthday and commemorate the 20th anniversary of his death. John Cage was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20thcentury. He conceived an alternate experimental and intermediary concept of music. His groundbreaking works and texts caused a seismic shift in the world of art with manifold consequences. The festival will investigate the impact of Cage on generations of composers and artists that followed. The complete festival programme will be published in January 2012. |
