Here Comes Everybody: The Music, Poetry, and Art of John Cage

An Interdisciplinary Conference and Festival on
Cage's Contributions to Twentieth Century Culture

Presented by the Mills College Music Department
and the Center for Contemporary Music


A CONCERT SERIES
devoted to Cage's music, an exhibition of Cage's art in the Mills
College Art Gallery, and films about Cage.

THE CONCERT SERIES INCLUDES
works from the entire range of Cage's creative output, from his
early works for percussion ensemble and prepared piano, to several works
written just before his death. Members of the Center for Contemporary
Music perform live electronic works from Cage's first experiments with
this medium to several newer compositions. Guest artists include Marianne
Amacher, The Hub, Joseph Kubera, and Gordon Mumma.

AN EXCLUSIVE SCREENING
of One11 and 103, Cage's extraordinary collaboration with filmmaker
Peter Lohner, and From Zero, four films about Cage by Andrew Culver and
Frank Scheffer, reveal another aspect of Cage's artistic accomplishments.


The Concert series is just the live music aspect of this conference event.
