Assembly Music:
This week’s assembly was themed around the Fundamental British Value of Tolerance. Our assembly music is from John Cage. He is an experimental composer, and this is unlikely to be like anything you have heard before! Although he is now considered to be one of the most influential composers of contemporary art music, many people were not tolerant of his radical approaches when he first started.
