Deep Listening Band in Concert
Inaugural concert of the New Music at Lawrence series - Pauline Oliveros and Stuart Dempster work with Lawrence students—including IGLU (Improvisation Group of Lawrence University) and the composition studio—in a variety of masterclasses and workshops during their stay here. The Deep Listening Band will surround the audience in an immersive musical experience. Pauline Oliveros and Stuart Dempster create oceans of sound in reverberant spaces. In this case, Memorial Chapel will be electronically transformed into a hall with 20 seconds or more of reverb. Oliveros formed the concept of “deep listening” to describe the active art of listening. She is the one of most important composers of the 20th century, and we are honored to welcome her to Lawrence. Dempster, who will play both trombone and didjeridu, thrilled audiences during his last visit to Lawrence.
