The Day of Listening is a welcoming, family friendly contemporary, new music experience that blurs the lines between listening, learning, and performing. Led by musician, interdisciplinary artist, and educator Claire Chase, the Day of Listening celebrates Pauline Oliveros, the visionary composer and performer known for her concept of Deep Listening. Community members of all ages are invited to engage with several of Oliveros’s important works composed for open instrumentation and interpretation. Dismantling any distinction between performer and audience, Chase will guide participants through some of Oliveros' best-known compositions such as “The Tuning Meditation” and “Sonic Meditations.” Attendees will have the opportunity to use Adaptive Use Musical Instruments (AUMIs), providing access for anyone of any age or ability to create musical phrases through small movement or gestures.
