Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center: Sō Percussion: We Are All Going in Different Directions: A Celebration of John Cage

Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center (BMCM+AC) 120 College St., Asheville

We Are All Going in Different Directions: A Celebration of John Cage will feature music by John Cage,  Dan Deacon, Matmos, Pauline Oliveros, Claire Rousay, Caroline Shaw, Jason Treuting, and Pamela Z.  For twenty years and counting, Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century through an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). They are celebrated by audiences and presenters for a dazzling range of work: for live performances in which “telepathic powers of communication” (The New York Times) bring to life the vibrant percussion repertoire; for an extravagant array of collaborations in classical music, pop, indie rock, dance, and theater; and for their work in education and community, creating opportunities and platforms for music and artists that explore the immense possibility of art in our time.
