An annual adventure in amazing listening.

Organized by acclaimed composer Michael Pisaro, the week-long festival is a balance of intimacy and intensity. Starting in 2009 (Dog Star's fifth year), Human Ear signed on to document the concerts, and present them in a free online archive.

Attended by few, and passionately realized by the composer-performers of LA's fervent experimental scene, Dog Star Orchestra's concerts make a breathtaking trip through many adventurous perspectives on the experience of listening.

Many of the pieces are world premieres or rare performances. There are more than we can list here, but pieces by John Cage, Christian Wolff, Ulrich Kreiger, Jennie Gottschalk, Julia Holter and Mark So are just a few.
