EXCITING PRESS:

• I Care If You Listen profiled my work in an article titled “Anne Hege Breathes Life into Hacked Cassette Players and Singing Laptops” by Esteban Meneses (I love the title of this article).

• It sounds like all my dreams commissioned by Volti SF, for live distanced chorus, virtual chorus, and electronic interludes, received some nice reviews!  SF Classical Voice published this review, and Stephen Smoliar published this one! You can watch it here.

• You can find an article in SF Classical Voice about PWC’s first season with me as AD here.

• I wrote a pamphlet to complete my Deep Listening Certification called Deep Listening Through Parenthood: Sonic Meditations for Birth, the NICU, and Beyond. It is free to share. I put it out there as a testament to the power of the Deep Listening practice, the work of Pauline Oliveros, Ione, and Heloise Gold, and the values that have been central to my work as a composer, musician, and human over the last twenty years. Enjoy!
