Synopsis
Dialogues with Tan Dun
“A person is considered to have reached adolescence at the age 15, it’s a time of dreams, passions, revolutions and innovations. I use rock ‘n’ roll to portray dreams and passion. Atonality, which was first devised in the 20th century, pays homage to revolution and innovation.”
–Tan Dun
“
“Eccentric composer Tan Dun pays musical homage to his equally unorthodox late mentor John Cage…It’s absolutely the one night in this year’s BMF that is not to be missed — the coolest American musician and most controversial Chinese composer, plus an all-premiere program in China.”
