Margaret Leng Tan, the “queen of the toy piano” (The New York Times), returns to Maverick with TOY TOY TOY!, a diminutive music-theater of nostalgia and humor performed on toy pianos and all manner of toys, from a toy telephone to a hand-cranked music box. Who would have thought toys had such potential? Margaret treats them as real instruments in keeping with the French avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp’s assertion that “poor tools require better skills.” She also fulfills her mentor John Cage’s long-standing conviction that one can make music on just about any object capable of producing sound.
TOY TOY TOY! features music by Phyllis Chen, Erik Griswold, Ying-an Lin, Stephen Montague, David Wolfson and 10-year old composer Anastasha Suchin.
