“What if you wished a piano / could sound like a whole orchestra / so you stuck erasers and bolts and screws / between and under its strings / and made music no one had heard before? / Then you’d be like John Cage.”

Join us for an evening with Il Sung Na, children’s book creator and assistant professor of illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute. Il Sung will discuss  his illustrated book Beautiful Noise: The Music of John Cage, written by Lisa Rogers. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Il Sung now resides in Kansas City where he teaches and creates children’s books.
