What I've Been Listening to in the past few days.......

4/6/2020

 
So I thought I would share a little of my personal listening over the past few days......a very eclectic mix, I'm sure you will agree!  To begin with, I attended the  virtual "World-Wide Tuning Meditation" by Pauline Oliveros led by Ione and Claire Chase.  Many of you may not know of the composer, performer, and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros, although student RP has explored her music with me; way to go, RP!!  From her website:  "Oliveros was Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. She founded "Deep Listening ®,"  which came from her childhood fascination with sounds and from her works in concert music with composition, improvisation and electro-acoustics.  She described Deep Listening as a way of listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing.  Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds."  When in London with Kate, we attended a deep listening meditation that will live as one of the most incredible musical experiences of my life!  So when I saw a notice about this global tuning meditation, I jumped at the chance.  You can listen here to the event edited on Soundcloud (you may even hear me breathing/singing along with Conrad Tao in this Zoom video!)  You may want to attend yourself!  This will go on every Saturday in April at 5:00pm.  You must get a ticket at Eventbrite, although they are free, and here is a link.
Another listening journey has been with the great Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck, virtuoso banjo performers (as well as spouses); give a listen to Banjo House Lockdown concerts, and have fun!  Next, while I did some cleaning (notice the dust-free pianos at your lesson!), I pulled a "Mrs. Doubtfire" while listening to Cimafunk in their Tiny Desk Concert on NPR.....look them up on Apple music, too! Next, I watched the wonderful pianist Nicholas Lugansky perform Franck, Beethoven, and Rachmaninov playing to an empty house on  Medici.TV (subscription only).  You may enjoy Nicholas playing here...... And, there's more, much more, but I will save for another day!  Happy sharing!
