John Cage’s Lecture on the Weather is a unique excursion into social  
and political allegory, one surprisingly relevant to the present time.  
Commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in observance of  
America’s bicentennial and based on writings by Henry David Thoreau,  
Cage conceived the work as an unconducted radio broadcast or  
theatrical performance wherein twelve individuals read excerpts from  
Thoreau’s writings, intermittently performing exquisite moments of  
music amidst a gathering storm.

Proceeds will benefit the John Cage Trust and Electronic Music  
Foundation.  Want to do more?  Purchase a pair of tickets for $250 and  
enjoy preferred seating and attendance at an intimate post- 
performance, meet-the-artists celebration, complete with champagne and  
nutritious delicacies prepared from John Cage’s own recipes!
