Our 5th Open Day is dedicated to the style and spirit of the kaleidoscopic New York arts scene, which flourished from the mid-20th century. A point of reference for this year’s event will be the legendary meeting of two pioneering composers, John Cage and Morton Feldman, as they were leaving Carnegie Hall after a performance of Anton Webern’s Symphony conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos. It’s a story that has been told many times, though never with the same details twice. Their friendship would soon extend to embrace a close circle of musicians including Christian Wolff, Earle Brown and the pianist David Tudor who would come to be known as the New York School.
