A few years before 4’33’’, Cage wrote his piano piece Dreams, which aims to achieve a similar inner calm as the famous piece of conscious absence of deliberately produced sounds, from which a spontaneous musical stream of consciousness arises in our concert with Jordi Carrasco Hjelm's free improvisation, created in the moment.More about the KammermusikfestVideo recordings of past concertsPlaylist ‘Kammermusikfest 2026’ on Spotify
