A Celebration of Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016)

Pauline Oliveros was one of the most influential figures in contemporary music. She was a pioneer in free improvisation, music technology, experimental music and music-making for the physically and mentally challenged; she created Deep Listening, a discipline designed to open our minds - our imaginations - to sound. Through thousands of performances and a multitude of recordings, the establishment of the Deep Listening Band and Institute, teaching, mentoring and so much more, she touched a myriad of lives. Deeply humanitarian, much of her work was designed to foster inclusivity and liberate creativity in all those who encountered it, regardless of previous experience or ability.

Over recent years, she came to love Ireland and forged many connections with us here; with the artistic community of Cork, with Quiet Music Ensemble, with UCC (she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in 2014), and with the land - she especially loved Beara.

During this event we will celebrate the life of this extraordinary woman through performances of her music, Sonic Meditations, talks and togetherness; Pauline’s partner Ione will join us by Skype.
