Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch

Today Sara delves into a new book of the letters of John Cage, one of the most original composers and thinkers of the 20th Century, with the help of its editor Laura Kuhn and composers Pauline Oliveros and Peter Dickinson. She visits a house in north London inspired by the piano music of Erik Satie and previews a rare new production of Karl Amadeus Hartmann's opera Simplicius Simplicissimus presented by Independent Opera at Sadler's Wells.
