WELCOME
Since 2008, I have thought of all my work under the title, the things that keep us human. I strive to support listening, attention, presence, and awareness of the body in my work as a composer, singer, performer, conductor, instrument builder, and writer. I write music and build instruments that invite people to be present with their broad, ageless, all-remembering self. – Anne Hege

EXCITING PRESS:
My work was profiled by I Care If You Listen in an article “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.
Here is a pamphlet I wrote 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!
