The Hoffmann Building could have been built for John Cage’s vision of a ‘Musicircus’, an anarchic harmony of different musics all brought under one big top and blending together into a joyous sonic mess. To celebrate the centenary of 20th-century music’s greatest iconoclast, a plethora of Festival artists and others fling open the doors and let the sound stream out. As the centre-piece of this promenade event, EXAUDI teams up with sound artist Bill Thompson and students from UEA to present its critically-acclaimed version of Cage’s seminal Song Books (1970).
