From the Vaults, Part Two: Meet the Composer With John Cage
We continue the week-long ramp-up to our next and third season with an interview with the widely influential patriarch of 20th-century experimental music John Cage.

Page offers his own straightforward critique of Cage's discoveries and reiterates the need for objectivity and seclusion in music criticism.
