The Philips Pavilion at Expo 58

From 17-19th October 1958,[1] Delia wnet with Jonathan Harvey to Expo 58 in Brussels, where they heard the world première of Varese's "Poème Eléctronique"[2] at its world première, performed on 425 speakers.[3]

Tristam 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.
