Pamela was born in New York City and grew up outside of Boston.  Returning to New York in 1970 after completing her Masters’ degree, Pam established herself as a successful photographer, running a studio on Madison Avenue for families and children, while also raising two of her own.  She created photographs for numerous record albums and book jackets before turning her artistic talents to the political scene, working as a photographer for New York City Major John Lindsay and Antonio Olivieri.

The global struggle against Apartheid in South Africa had a profound impact on Pam’s life. She recalls, in the early 1980s, being introduced to township theatre and mesmerized by an anti-apartheid play called ASINIMALI which had come to Harlem for a short run.  She urged everyone she knew at the time—including Paul Simon and Harry Belafonte—to support the show, and it was eventually brought to Broadway.

Pam and Harry Belafonte married in 2008.  For the next 15 years, Pam was deeply involved in the multifaceted work of music and activism that characterized Harry’s life.  As his closest confidant and advisor, Pam played an integral role in managing the work—editing, organizing, writing, and traveling all over the world.

Drawing from his background in a wide field of genres including rock, classical, film, theater, improvised, and electronic music – composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist Hahn Rowe has developed a uniquely personal sonic language, fusing disparate musical elements into atmospheric, polymorphic soundscapes. He has harnessed a keen ability to bridge and meld acoustic sounds with the infinite textures available through analog and digital processing to create strangely organic and emotional sonic realms. Equally at home performing on violin, guitar, and digital/electronic studio instruments, Hahn Rowe has retained his unique sensibilities while crossing musical borders. 

Arriving to New York City in the early 80's, he was exposed to the cross-pollinating music and art scenes and soon after joined the Glenn Branca ensemble performing on guitar and violin. It was there he met members of the “chamber rock” group Hugo Largo, becoming a full-time member on electric violin and providing engineering and production on two albums released on Brian Eno's Opal label.

His multifaceted approach to music making found him in wildly varying environments ranging from playing guitar with Gnawa musician Hassan Hakmoun in Zahar, violin duties with the recorded and live projects of Jim Thirwell (Foetus), studio work with the likes of Ikue Mori,  Tom Cora, Moby, Syd Straw, R.E.M., and Swans, remixes for Yoko Ono, and engineering/mixing recordings for people such as John Zorn, Roy Ayers, Bill Laswell, and Antony and the Johnsons. As a producer, Hahn Rowe has worked with David Byrne on his album “Feelings” and Hugo Largo vocalist Mimi Goese on her solo release “Soak”.

 A recipient of three New York Dance and Performance Awards (AKA ‘Bessie’), Hahn Rowe has a long history scoring music for dance and theater, working with Benoît Lachambre, Bebe Miller, John Jasperse (with the International Contemporary Ensemble), Louise Lecavalier, Antonija Livingstone, and Simone Aughterlony. Since 1991, he has been in collaboration with Brussels/Berlin based choreographer Meg Stuart (Damaged Goods) which has resulted in the creation of seven evening length dance/theater works and hundreds of performances worldwide.

Hahn Rowe is currently active as a composer for film and television, creating scores for films such as Clean, Shaven by Lodge Kerrigan, Spring Forward and The Cold Lands by Tom Gilroy, Married in America by Michael Apted and Sing Your Song by Susanne Rostock. Recently, he created a live sound installation for the month-long chain performance, Ghost Telephone, curated by Adrian Heathfield and presented in the Biennale of Sydney (2016), and a live sound score for the light/performance work, A Possibility of an Abstraction by Germaine Kruip.
