Bang on a Can Plays Clifford Ross, John Cage: Ryoanji
MASS MoCA, 1040 MASS MoCA Way
(413) 662-2111
4:30 PM
$8 - $18
Free - Children 5 and under & members
For more information
Bang on a Can’s first response to the photography of Clifford Ross is to the high resolution mountain imagery of his piece Landscape Seen and Imagined. John Cage's monumental Ryoanji is a sonic and philosophic transformation into sound of a particular landscape Cage observed, the majestically meditative Zen rock garden at the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto. No composer in recent memory spent more time thinking about the relationship between hearing and seeing than Cage and this is one of his deepest, most dramatic works. |

$18/adults,$16/Seniors and Veterans, $12/Students (with ID), $8/children(6 - 16), Free/Children 5 and under & members

David Lang's introspectively ecstatic piece darker takes a long time to change very little. Over the course of an hour a very active string orchestra plays music that gets a little darker – not a lot, just a little. A film by visual artist Suzanne Bocanegra heightens the darkening. Lang and Bocanegra discuss the work afterward. |
