Theirs is but one mission: To boldly go where no orchestra has gone before. Conducted by the deranged baton of Elvis Schoenberg (the musical miscegenation of the king of rock, Elvis Presley, and the King of early 20th-century dodecaphonic music, Arnold Schoenberg), the Orchestre Surreal, a 30 piece ensemble made up of LA’s’ finest musicians, is the brainchild of composer, orchestrator, and conductor, Ross Wright AKA Elvis Schoenberg.
A wild and seductive orchestral ride 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.
Launched in 1997, the Orchestre Surreal came out of composer Ross Wright's mission to create a project that would strip away the barriers of cultural, generational, and artistic divide, and promote the message of open-mindedness through art. A student of diverse composers such as: Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Beethoven, Duke Ellington,The Beatles and Frank Zappa, to name just a few of the influences that helped to shape his vision.
