Pauline Oliveros in Concert at the Jewish Museum, New York – USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 Pauline Oliveros will perform in ‘Bang on a Can’ on Thursday November 10th, 7.30pm, at the Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, New York City.‘Bang on a Can’ and the Jewish Museum are presenting the second concert of their 2016-2017 concert season featuring seminal American composer Pauline Oliveros. Accompanying the exhibition, ‘Take Me (I'm Yours)’, the concert will feature Oliveros performing ‘The Sound of Meditation’ on Roland V Accordion. Like the exhibition, the concert also blurs the boundary between the performer and the audience by asking the listener to participate in the making of music. Since the 1960s Pauline Oliveros has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. In the 1950s she was part of a circle of iconoclastic composers, artists, poets in San Francisco. She is the recipient of the John Cage award for 2012 from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts, and serves as Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. She has been as interested in finding new sounds as in finding new uses for old ones - her primary instrument is the accordion, perhaps an unexpected visitor to the musical cutting edge. Pauline is the founder of ‘Deep Listening’, which she describes as a way of listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. "Deep Listening is my life practice," she explains, simply. Oliveros is the founder of the Center For Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, formerly the Pauline Oliveros Foundation. |
