Music For A While
Wednesday March 15th, 2023 with David Cavlovic
It's Concerto Day

"Anything in our world that moves vibrates air. If it moves in such a way that it oscillates at more than about 16 times a second this movement is heard as sound. The world, then, is full of sounds. Listen. Openly attentive to whatever is vibrating, listen. Sit quietly for a moment and receive." --R. Murray Schafer
