$Pauline Oliveros\u2019s Sound Meditations | Olympia$

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, combines performance, film, and audience interactions. Pauline Oliveros' life was about opening her own and others' sensibilities to the universe, influencing American music profoundly through improvisation, meditation, and technological exploration.
