44 Harmonies
In this concert BL!NDMAN’s four saxophones enter into a mystical marriage with the sixteen voices of the Goeyvaerts Consort. Five quartets (of vocals and saxophones) stand at various points along a circuit in the building. You mix your own concert as you walk around. The programme revolves around John Cage’s 44 Harmonies. You will also hear 16th- and 17th-century music that acts as a sounding board for Cage’s sacred harmonies.
