Did you know Oberlin Arts and Sciences Orchestra gives students in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as members of the broader Oberlin community, access to high-level performance experiences? Led by Visiting Assistant Professor of Conducting Tiffany Chang ’09, OASO also affords opportunities for collaboration with conservatory faculty—as heard in this December 2019 performance of Poulenc’s Concerto for 2 Pianos and Orchestra.

“I see this orchestra as a place for high-performing, high-achieving students who may not want to major in music but who still want to keep that aspect of themselves alive,” says Chang, who joins Stage Left for a pre-performance chat with members of the orchestra and guest soloists: Oberlin Professor Alvin Chow and his twin brother Alan Chow of the Eastman School of Music.
