Pauline Oliveros’ Birthday with the Cornelius Cardew Choir

Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) was a composer, pioneer of electronic music, and the founder of the Deep Listening practice. Her text scores and listening meditations continue to influence musicians, sound artists, and communities around the world. She taught at UCSD, Mills College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and received numerous awards. https://paulineoliveros.us/

The Cornelius Cardew Choir, organized by students and collaborators of Pauline Oliveros, has been performing her works and Deep Listening scores for over 25 years.

This evening at the Center for New Music, we gather to celebrate Pauline Oliveros’ 94th birthday through a selection of her text scores and listening practices, and to explore how contemporary technologies such as large language models might become part of a Deep Listening experience.
