Jed Distler Plays John Cage August 26, 2012

The 2012 summer classical festival opens with Jed Distler playing John Cage's 'Four Walls,' with special guest soprano Darynn Zimmer. Written to be played on the piano's white keys only, the music's relentless yet varied and emotionally compelling use of repetition, silence, and ostinatos adds up to a powerful listening experience. 'Four Walls' also features a central unaccompanied vocal solo, performed this evening by soprano Darynn Zimmer.
