The 2016-17 John Cage Research Grant has been awarded to Dr. Philip Thomas (Huddersfield), Dr. Martin Iddon and Dr. Emily Payne for their work on, “John Cage and the Concert for Piano and Orchestra.” This annual competitive grant, established in 2013, promotes the study of John Cage’s music, art, ideas and life through the use of the Music Library’s John Cage Collection. Over the coming year, the grant will support one project; funds can be used to support travel, local accommodations and other costs associated with use of the collection.
