Mills College Music Department Turns the Wheels of Progress

March 7, 2009 — Mike
Oliveros playing in Mexico City

A recent Mills College performance is reviewed.

It began with a single riser, draped in black, on a half-lit stage. Atop it sat a desk chair with plain blue cushions, such as you might find in a library or school lab. Surrounding the chair were a laptop computer, an audio processor, and a large black concert accordion. As audience members filed in, the arrangement awaited Mills College composer-in-residence Pauline Oliveros, an internationally acclaimed composer and performer of contemporary music who was set to play the inaugural note in Mills’ newly renovated concert hall.
