The New Yorker has reviewed the top classical music performances of 2012, which includes a March 26 concert that involved Baltimore-bred musician Dan Deacon.
"This event with So Percussion, Matmos, and Dan Deacon stood out for its anarchic, joyous spirit," writes the New Yorker. In its original blog review, the New Yorker writer Alex Ross describes the John Cage tribute as "one of the more entertaining and fulfilling evenings I've had in recent years."
Performances by the New York Philharmonic and the Birmingham Opera were also recognized in the
list.
Electronic composer Deacon was
featured in Rolling Stone magazine earlier this year.
