How do you combine two completely different musical styles-separated by 200 years-and make it seem natural? Domenico Scarlatti wrote experimental music of the European high-Baroque; John Cage pushed the boundaries of mid-20th century American avant-garde. Through the juxtaposition of their music, can we hear commonalities between the two radically different sound worlds? Pianist David Greilsammer holds the key. Catch him recorded live at The Phillips Collection this Sunday, F...ebruary 14 at 4 pm for a dynamic conversation between music Scarlatti and Cage. Greilsammer spins between one piano, prepared with screws, nuts, rubber and plastic according to Cage's directions, and the Phillips's own Steinway for sonatas by Scarlatti. The resulting effect is musical tradition re-imagined. Don't miss this special performance as part of the 80th anniversary season!
