New website celebrates the centenary of John Cage

John Cage website

The New World Symphony has revealed a new site devoted to John Cage, commemorating the centenary of his birth. Funded in part by the Knight Foundation, Making the Right Choices: A John Cage Celebration is a free website designed around videos of the New World Symphony performing Cage's work during a 2013 festival held in the New World Center—the Frank-Gehry-designed home of the New World Symphony).

"Some of the videos primarily capture the live event," explains the site. "Others take the performances much further, adding layers of visual interpretation that provide deeper insight into the spirit of his works."

The New World Symphony pursues its mission of preparing "highly-gifted graduates of distinguished music programs for leadership roles in orchestras and ensembles around the world" by teaching experimental ideas and innovative thinking in order to enrich and challenge minds with classical music.

Music lovers can now find new understanding and love for one of the most important figures of the 20th Century.
