“experience the worlds longest composition… on the shortest day”
Organist Daniel Cooper will perform the New Zealand premiere of revolutionary American composer John Cage’s most feared organ work on the 22nd of June 2019. This performance will begin at 10am and end at 10pm. Audience members are invited to arrive at and depart from the performance at their leisure.
Daniel Cooper is a postgraduate student at the University of Canterbury who studied performance organ with Paul Ellis, and is currently studying towards a MMus in conducting with Professor Mark Menzies. Daniel is particularly passionate about directing and performing (often at the same time!) “un-sung” master works for organ, choir, and orchestra. Recently, Daniel has been responsible for several New Zealand premiers of new music by Philip Glass, Arvo Part, John Cage, and La Monte Young.
