Synopsis by Nathan Southern

Throughout her career, experimental pianist Margaret Leng Tan culled heavy-influence from avant garde classical musician John Cage. Evans Chan's documentary Sorceress of the New Piano: The Artistry of Margaret Leng Tan reflects at length on the residual effects and impacts of Leng Tan's music on mass culture, via a combination of concert clips and interviews.
