CLOSING NIGHT GALA
AT CORNISH COLLEGE OF THE ARTS
SORCERESS OF THE NEW PIANO: THE ARTISTRY OF MARGARET LENG TAN
USA/Singapore/Hong Kong, 2004, 90 minutes
Washington premiere
Sponsored in part by
Washington Composers Forum and
Cornish College of the Arts with additional support from
Jack
Straw Productions,
KOBO, and Carolynn Kim Prelutsky
A celebration of the fascinating career of Margaret Leng Tan,
hailed by The New Yorker as the "diva of avant-garde pianism."
The world's first professional toy pianist, Tan has risen to the
highest ranks of performers interpreting the ground-breaking works of
master composers Henry Cowell, George Crumb, and John Cage in addition
to works by newer generations of composers like Philip Glass and Tan
Dun.
Special
guest Margaret Leng Tan will perform a number of works before the
screening including John Cage's seminal Bacchanale. She will
also participate in a Q&A afterwards.
"[O]ne of the best films ever made about a musician...not
only an exciting work of art in itself, but one of the very few films
that manage to communicate some real and substantial information about
the art of music." -- Washington Post
