Satie and Satie-inspired music from John Cage, Toby Twining, Federico Mompou and Milos Raickovich, performed on piano and toy piano by Margaret Leng Tan.
Cage considered Erik Satie “indispensable”. Texts by Cage and Satie will punctuate the evening, read by Roberto Rossi.
A program highlight will be the first live US performance of one of Cage’s last works, his Extended Lullaby. A re-working of Satie’s Vexations, Extended Lullaby was originally created for 12 music boxes. Ms. Tan will present Extended Lullaby in a multiple-toy piano arrangement.
