Margaret Leng Tan & Sylvie Courvoisier
Merkin Concert Hall, Kaufman Center, at 8:00 pm

Margaret Leng Tan, who shattered musical boundaries with her elevation of the Toy Piano, continues the exploration of the numerous possibilities of “hands-in” piano begun decades ago by her mentor John Cage, as well as Henry Cowell and George Crumb (the “Three C's”). She will be joined by composer Stephen Montague in his Tongues of Fire for piano and live electronics
