Oberlin’s Stage Left series continues on Thursday April 23 with a listening session for a new release on the Oberlin Music label titled Rands at Oberlin. It features a recording of the premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning British-American composer Bernard Rands’ Concerto for English Horn and Orchestra, commissioned by professor of oboe and English horn Robert Walters in celebration of Oberlin Conservatory’s 150th anniversary. The broadcast includes both the recorded performance, featuring Walters performing with the Oberlin Orchestra, and a conversation with Walters and Rands.
On Sunday April 26, tune in a family-friendly “Story Time with the Sneetches and Oberlin Orchestra.” The 2013 recording of Lorenzo Palomo’s score for The Sneetches, a cautionary Dr. Seuss tale about bigotry, was performed by the Oberlin Orchestra with narration by actor John de Lancie. Oberlin professor of musicology Steven Plank will introduce it with help from his grandkids.
If these times don’t work for you, all of the Oberlin Stage Left broadcasts are available for viewing during the following day.
