Keynote Speaker

Pauline Oliveros

Inter­na­tion­al­ly acclaimed com­pos­er, per­former, human­i­tar­i­an, and pio­neer, Pauline Oliv­eros has forged new ground, writ­ten books, for­mu­lat­ed new music the­o­ries and inves­ti­gat­ed new ways to focus atten­tion on music includ­ing her con­cepts of “Deep Lis­ten­ing” and “son­ic aware­ness.” Her career spans fifty years of bound­ary-dis­solv­ing music mak­ing. She has been vocal about rep­re­sent­ing the needs of indi­vid­ual artists, the need for diver­si­ty and exper­i­men­ta­tion in the arts, and pro­mot­ing coop­er­a­tion and good will among people.
