The concert CSO will present on Sunday will be the longest this year, with Johannes Brahms' Nanie and Mahler's Symphony No. 1. However, it will be a blink of an eye compared to a performance that is in progress currently and will continue for the next 639 years of a piece by John Cage.
"In fact, you have about six more centuries to hear developments in the work being performed, a version of a composition by John Cage called "As Slow as Possible." A group of musicians and town boosters has given the title a ridiculously extreme interpretation, by stretching the performance to 639 years."
