DESCRIPTION:
What makes The Orchestre Surreal unique is that we mash together modern classical music with Rock N' Roll, Jazz, opera, and spoken word, and just about anything else. It's an orchestral melange that pushes against the boundaries of genre, and dares to suggest a world stripped of those borders, the Orchestre Surreal presents radically different artistic expressions that, in Elvis Schoenberg's world, have every obligation to collide. The result is a celebratory deconstructing of known and unknown songs with the wit and whimsy of Spike Jones and the musical complexities of Frank Zappa, and a showcasing of the wackiest wacky-savant orchestra of thirty musicians in recent history.
