CABINET OF CURIOSITIES MARGARET LENG TAN
Inspired by her mentor, the legendary John Cage, Margaret Leng Tan is the world’s first professional toy piano virtuoso. A major force in the American avant-garde music scene, Tan uses an array of small instruments and found objects including the toy piano, music boxes, two-note paper accordions and even a bicycle bell, to create her unique blend of music theatre. Groundbreaking and utterly unconventional, Tan is proof that ‘poor tools require better skills’. One night only.
