Description
Ben Johnston (left) looks at the LP album cover of John Cage’s “Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano” which is being held out by Charles Amirkhanian. This photograph was taken sometime during the preparations for the 14th Other Minds Festival held in the first week of March, 2009. Amirkhanian is holding the Dial 19 LP cover open so that Johnston can examine the program notes. American composer Benjamin Burwell Johnston was born March 15, 1926 in Macon, GA. Living briefly in Berkeley, CA, in 1950, he was associated with Harry Partch and studied at the University of California and Mills College. From 1951 to 1983 he taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2009 he was a featured composer at OM 14, where his composition for baritone and just-tuned guitar, “The Tavern,” received its world premiere.
