For John Cage (June 27, 8 pm) brings us back to Morton Feldman’s massive, whispery work of the same name, which we performed for the first time at Columbia University in October. We’re so excited to share the piece again, this time in the resonant, light-filled OSA Church sanctuary.

Meditative Mondays is a unique experience combining a guided meditation with a live performance of music by some of the most important composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
On June 15th we’ll pair the meditation goal of self reflection with an iconic piece by “mystical minimalist” composer Arvo Pärt. We’ll perform Spiegel Im Spiegel, which means Mirror In Mirror, composed in Pärt’s “tintinnabular” style consisting of a lyrical melody and spare, “bell-like” accompaniment. We’ll also perform John Cage’s piece In a Dream, a meditative arrangement of Miles Davis’ dreamy Blue ‘N Green and a beautiful new piece by Australian composer Elena Kats Chernin.
Seth Boustead – piano
Veronika Alter – cello
