“All Things Cage” continues its break from its usual conversational format to allow for an introductory program that examines Cage’s interest in the “circus” as a compositional tool and form, with emphasis on how it appeared in both his very first Musicircus in 1967 at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, and in his late-life composition for museum, Rolywholyover   A Circus, composed on a commission from the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, where it was first seen in 1993, one year after Cage’s death. This is an introductory program in the sense that Kuhn and Julie Lazar, founding curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and collaborator with Cage on Rolywholyover   A Circus , will speak next week on “All Things Cage” about Cage’s influence on their respective lives, both then and now, some 28 years later.
