APST 709 - Oberlin Orchestra/Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble

HC CNDP

2 credits
Oberlin Orchestra is a full symphony orchestra dedicated to the rehearsal and performance of primarily large-scaled masterworks. The Orchestra normally performs five orchestral programs and one opera production each year. Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble is a select group performing three concerts each semester that focuses on recent works by composers of very diverse styles and background with occasional masterworks from the 20th century. Faculty and student composers are presented each year. Frequently, the ensemble work directly with composers invited to campus. Oberlin Orchestra and the Contemporary Music Ensemble are scheduled at the same time, which allows for flexible ensemble assignments throughout the semester and ensures full and varied performance experiences for students. Admission is by audition and placement.
