From 17-19th October 1958,[1] Delia went with Jonathan Harvey to Expo 58, l'Exposition Internationale et Universelle,[2] in Brussels, where they heard the world première of Varese's "Poème Eléctronique"[3] at its world première, performed on 425 speakers.[4]
Group photo of electronic musicians at Expo 58. From left to right, first row: Mauricio Kagel, Earl Brown, Luciano Berio, Karlheinz Stockhausen; second row: Henk Badings, André Boucourechliev, Bruno Maderna, Henri Pousseur, Marina Scriabine, Luc Ferrari, Pierre Schaeffer; Lying down: John Cage.
Tristram Cary and Daphne Oram were also there, though presumably she didn't know them at that point, as were most of the electronic musical luminaries of the time.[5]
