Berkeley, CA -
John Cage, one of the greatest American composers of the twentieth century, created a new music that defies simple explanation. Many writers have grappled with that music - in which Cage used notes chosen by chance, randomly tuned radios, and even pure silence - trying to understand what it means rather than where it comes from. Where the Heart Beats reveals in an unprecedented way exactly what empowered Cage to compose his unique music, and how he inspired so many of the tremendous artistic transformations of mid-century America.
Kay Larsons biography of John Cage is the first to address the phenomenal importance of Zen Buddhism to the composers life, and to the artistic avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s. Where the Heart Beats - a ground-breaking biography and fresh cultural history Is the work of an acclaimed art critic. She has been art critic for the Village Voice and New York magazine.
Tickets: $12 advance at 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores, $15 door.
