Awesöme Orchestra | Epic Free Classical Concerts
Awesöme Orchestra brings people together for musical adventures. Their free sessions are part performance, part open rehearsal. They provide the sheet music, and anyone is welcome to play or to listen.
The Awesöme Orchestra Collective is the Bay Area’s most adventurous reading orchestra, dedicated to playing excellent orchestral music of all kinds with amazing musicians in a fun, casual environment focused on high musicianship. Their events are always free, but they ask for a pay-what-you-will donation to help cover basic costs.
This next Awesöme Orchestra session may be a first in musical history: a Brahms-Daft Punk sandwich. That’s Brahms. Then Daft Punk. Then more Brahms. Their friend Joshua Icban is writing a great new arrangement of tracks from Random Access Memories and they cannot wait to play it for you.
Repertoire and schedule are as follows, with conductor David Möschler and special surprise guest conductor TBA on Facebook.
- Brahms – Tragic Overture, Op. 81
- Daft Punk – “Give Life Back To Music” & “Touch” medley arranged for AOC by Joshua Icban
- Brahms – Academic Festival Overture, Op. 80
