Pauline Oliveros at 90

Event is Live

Carnegie Hall Presents

Saturday, January 21, 2023 9 PM Zankel Hall Center Stage

Claire Chase by Walter Wlodarczyk

In her first performance of the 2022–2023 season, Debs Creative Chair Claire Chase makes full use of the uniquely intimate, 360-degree Center Stage configuration of Zankel Hall. It’s the ideal setting for a program that pays tribute to Pauline Oliveros, the visionary composer and performer whose philosophy of Deep Listening® has inspired many of Chase’s sonic explorations. Along with a brilliant group of musicians, audiences experience—and become a part of—two pieces of music built from the ground up every time they are performed. Discover in-the-moment musical invention that depends entirely upon environment, artists, audience, musical tools, and the infinite whims of each.

Please join Claire Chase, artist-author IONE, anthropologist Eduardo Kohn, and forest wisdom defender Manari Ushigua for a post-concert conversation on stage.
