Oberlin Arts & Sciences Orchestra: World Premiere of Ralph Lewis' 'Straight Into Tangles'

Ralph Lewis – Straight Into Tangles (world premiere)

During the pandemic, we asked the question: Could we all perform something together, wherever we are?

OASO commissioned composer Ralph Lewis to write a full orchestral piece to be performed entirely on Zoom. We operated under the premise of embracing Zoom as a performance medium, rather than a limitation. We had several workshops throughout the 2020-21 year with Ralph to try to understand how we could harness the tendencies and distortions into something creative and engaging.

Find out what happened by watching our Facebook premiere video – where we can all chat together in real-time!

The broadcast will take place at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.

After the 9-minute video premiere, you are welcome to join Ralph and conductor Tiffany Chang in a ZOOM TALKBACK!
