The Eastman Saxophone Project on Live from Hochstein, Spring 2019

When the Eastman Saxophone Project played on Live from Hochstein this past week, we tried something new: recording them with 360 cameras!  

What that means: you can watch part of their performance and even adjust your view throughout the ensemble, while hearing their barn-burning take on Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 (in an arrangement by Clancy Ellis) that they played on the show.

Try holding your mouse on the video and moving it around - you'll be able to watch the creative musical communication among the performers. 

You can listen online to the full program here, along with other selected past episodes of Live from Hochstein.  This video was produced in partnership with Arts InFocus.
