Sonic Meditations: Performance

Join Amy Cimini (Associate Professor of Music, UC San Diego) and Charissa Noble (Assistant Professor of Music, University of San Diego) for a two-day performance and workshop that draws on the ideas of composer Pauline Oliveros.

Performance: Exploring pressing questions about the balance between personal expression and listening, individual identity and community expanded consciousness and internal awareness, Oliveros’ "Sonic Meditations" have become a beacon for pro-social experimental sound practices. Created while Oliveros resided in Encinitas and served as co-founder of the visionary music curricula at UC San Diego, her "Meditations" provoke us to reflect on how radical, reciprocal processes of sounding, singing and listening not only cultivate new ways to experience music, but also re-imagine existing paradigms of social connection.

This event offers new performances of selected "Meditations" and invites visitors into Oliveros’ practice of sonic awareness. RSVP included free admission. 

Presented in conjunction with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition  For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability.
