Immersive Listening: Dinner + Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories

Join us for an evening exploring immersive music in community! First, we'll meet up for a delicious Syrian dinner at Ali Baba. Then we'll walk four minutes to the University of Pittsburgh for a concert featuring pianist Amy Williams performing Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories.

Feldman's music invites listeners to settle into a slow, spacious unfolding. This 70-minute piano piece is sometimes described as a meditation in sound—sparse and hypnotic. Listeners experience it best by simply in the present moment, not analyzing it with mind.

In this podcast segment, Williams describes what to listen for and discusses the meditative quality of the piece, which can help prepare you for the experience.
