Seda Röder, piano Tales from the Silent Lands UC Davis Department of Music

The program will feature works by John Cage and his friend Morton Feldman—composers were prominent figures in music development of the later 1900's. Both experimented with music in terms of length, instrumentation, electronics, and improvisation.

Also featured will be two recently composed works by Ken Ueno (Composer and Professor of Music at UC Berkeley) and Lei Liang (Composer and Professor of Music at UC San Diego, and who composer-in-residence for the "Migration" festival early 2013 at the Mondavi Center). All three (Röder, Ueno, and Liang) were all greatly influenced and inspired by Cage's works.
