Seattle Modern Orchestra celebrates their 16th birthday with an avant-garde prom and fundraiser inspired by The guests go in to supper (1986; a seminal work featuring text scores and ideas from luminaries of the late 20th-century American Avant-Garde: John Cage, Laurie Anderson, Yoko Ono, Charles Amirkhanian, and Robert Ashley. Each composer included in the original collection is featured through score exploration, video, or performance. The focal work of this anniversary celebration is Cage’s Mushrooms et variationes.
There will be drinks, snacks, music, and dancing. Dressing up in your finest avant-garde-1986-prom-finery is encouraged!
