[silence] International Contemporary Ensemble - Spiegeltent - South Street Seaport - New York Times

[Ralph Lichtensteiger]

International Contemporary Ensemble - Spiegeltent - South Street  
Seaport - New York Times

"The group [International Contemporary Ensemble] deserves the  
attention: the freshness and electricity of its performances and  
nondogmatic programming are persuasive more often than not. For the  
Darmstadt series the group made John Cage the anchor of its program.  
Its opener, Cage’s “Credo in US” (1942), began as a tightly focused  
account but emphasized the gathering chaos within the work, as the  
percussionists whacked their collections of tin cans and pots and the  
increasingly assertive sounds of a randomly tuned radio gave the  
score a cartoonish connection to the present."
