EVENT
UnCaged Toy Piano Festival: Toys and Moving Images
Ongoing
Organized by Phyllis Chen
The UnCaged Toy Piano Festival supports new works and performers on the toy piano, originally an educational toy invented in 1872 that was reimagined as a concert instrument in John Cage’s 1947 “Suite for Toy Piano.” For its third festival, UnCaged Toy Piano presents a whimsical audiovisual program that celebrates toys and play. The program includes:
Edges by Christina Oorebeek and Ester Eva Damen, performed by Adam Tendler
Kalimba by Karlheinz Essl and students of Bettina Negy-Rumpf, coached by Thomas Renoldner, performed by Tristan McKay
Curios (selections) by Phyllis Chen and Rob Dietz, performed by Margaret Leng Tan
Nos Queda el Aire by Y No Habia Luz
Snow (selections), by John Glover and Jordan Morley, performed by Phyllis Chen
Five Pieces by Danny Clay and students of Zion Lutheran School
