Emerald City Music | Pauline Oliveros’s Sound Meditations
Emerald City Music celebrates the life and music of Pauline Oliveros, the pioneer of “deep listening” and “sonic awareness.” This meditative evening, curated and hosted by cellist Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir, will combine live performance, film, and an interactive audience experience. Pauline Oliveros' life was about opening her own and others' sensibilities to the universe, influencing American music profoundly through improvisation, meditation, and technological exploration. She was one of the original members of The San Francisco Tape Center – a significant resource for electronic music in the 1960s – and a founding member of the Deep Listening Band, which was formed in 1988 in Port Townsend, Washington. The concert program will include video segments from an Oliveros documentary that explains her concept of music; performances of her compositions by Thorsteinsdóttir, Kristin Lee, violist Melia Watras, and percussionist Bonnie Whiting; along with group activities of meditation.
Emerald City Music is the Pacific Northwest home for eclectic, intimate, and vibrant classical chamber music experiences. Known for a casual environment combined with award winning artists, ECM has gained recognition since its founding in 2015. With the season’s theme of Global Resonance, Emerald City Music invites audiences to experience the world's diverse musical sounds through fifteen vibrant concerts this season.
