After visiting an interesting venue, I often subscribe to email alerts or connect through social media to hear about upcoming events. An example is the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.

Catching my attention was a program and concert celebrating Pauline Oliveros’s life. She was an innovator of electronic music and the art of deep listening. The lack of event detail didn’t deter me. My hunch was that it was a sign of authenticity.

The event was stunning - meticulously run and adventurous. It exceeded my expectations and opened my mind. It was immersive and led me to a unique new experience.
