These two evenings of early works by Cage marked a return of the music of Cage, once a guest in the Schindler House, to the grounds of the House and included a little-known work, Composition for Three Voices, dedicated to Schindler’s wife, Pauline. Selected by James Tenney, the works performed marked the coincidence of several Cage anniversaries: the 50th anniversary of the seminal work 4′ 33″ performed in 1952, the 90th anniversary of Cage’s birth, and the 10th anniversary of his death.
