Description
John Cage | “Four”
Alfred Schnittke | “Stille Musik” for Violin and Cello
John Cage | “4‘33‘‘”
Maurice Ravel | “String Quartet in F Major, Op. 35”
Based on Cage’s statement in his famous provocation “4’33”” on the impossibility of perfect silence, the program will also indulge in the simultaneous intoxication of all sensory impressions, as experienced by Cage, Cunningham and Twombly on their travels in the Mediterranean region and for which a museum provides the ideal setting.
Surrounded by the very expressive Twombly paintings, especially the large-format rose paintings, the quartet aims to forge a connection between the theme of (unattainable) silence and the colorful and multi-layered music of Ravel.
