Oberlin Stage Left
A series of innovative, inspiring, and distinctly Oberlin broadcasts featuring our faculty, students, and special guests from all around the world.
Oberlin Conservatory Large Ensembles
Saturday, May 8 at 7:00 p.m.
Though our campus policy does not allow live audiences, conductors Raphael Jiménez and Timothy Weiss have worked wonders to reimagine “large” ensembles and have crafted a new format for students to physically perform together within Oberlin’s COVID-19 safety stipulations. As an added bonus, presenting online gives us the opportunity to hear insights from some of the composers prior to performances of their works. Saturday night's concert includes performances by Oberlin Orchestra and Oberlin Chamber Orchestra led by Professor Raphael Jiménez; Oberlin Sinfonietta and Contemporary Music Ensemble led by Professor Tim Weiss; and includes works by Kevin Puts, Martijn Padding, Julia Wolfe, and Michael-Thomas Foumai.
Saturday Stage Left Large Ensemble performances are presented one time only due to copyright/broadcast restrictions.
