John Cage, Song Books
Alarm Will Sound - TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW!

Perhaps Cage’s greatest music-theatre work, Song Books is a collection of instrumental compositions, songs, electronic music, and theatre pieces that can be combined in countless ways. It exemplifies an astonishing range of musical styles that is increasingly relevant to the contemporary musical world and that resonates with the breadth of Alarm Will Sound's programming. Song Books requires an unusual kind of performer: part virtuoso, part rock star, part visionary: an artist who eagerly cultivates the incredible variety of musical experience and expression in our time. Their performance of Song Books–also a multimedia, theatrical production–will both elaborate John Cage’s provocative legacy and extend it for audiences today.
