[ακολουθεί ελληνικό κείμενο]

Contemporary Music Lab presents Sonatas and Interludes by John Cage performed by the Latvian pianist Juris Žvikovs. The concert will take place on the 7th of April 2022 at MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki.

John Cage’s cycle Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano is one of the wonders of 20th century piano music. Justifiably considered as one of the best creations of the composer, the cycle is an icon in the realm of repertoire for prepared piano. The inner structural complexity along with the outer audible accessibility makes this cycle a special jewel among the vast piano repertoire of this kind.
