Artist Recital Series
Since its inception in 1878, Oberlin’s Artist Recital Series has presented more than 1,000 of the world’s most acclaimed and accomplished musicians, ensembles, composers, and creators. This year’s series represents a continuing celebration of exceptional live music performances and intimate music-making that ranges from classical to contemporary, jazz to electronic.
In addition to their brilliant performances on stage, all Artist Recital Series guest artists engage deeply with Oberlin students while in residence through master classes, workshops, presentations, side-by-side interactions, and discussions.
