UnCaged Toy Piano Festival: Toys and Moving Images

Ongoing

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:
