PRAx and The School of Visual, Performing and Design Arts Present: Hour For The Ears

Experience a sensory journey of immersive listening under the guidance of composer and Patricia Valian Reser Director of the School of the Arts, Peter Swendsen. ​

The 2026-27 Hour for the Ears season will continue to feature a range of music spanning the early days of electronic music to cutting-edge ambisonic compositions. And for the first time, all three presentations will feature a live performance. In winter, Hour for the Ears presents What Noises Remain, a work for solo performer, video, and sound co-created by Swendsen and Oslo-based percussionist Jennifer Torrence. ​

Join us in a darkened Ray Theater, with flexible seating including pillows and blankets, for this hour-long adventure that invites you to tap into your sense of listening in a way you never have before.
