The percussion quartet led by Fritz Hauser performs a new version of John Cage's legendary composition «Third Construction». As the title of the evening – «Slow Cage» – suggests, the percussionists play the piece at a very slow tempo. This creates a completely new perception of sound. This will be accompanied by four world premieres by the participating musicians.
