What if Beethoven wrote hip-hop? What if Debussy dabbled in electronic music? What does Stravinsky have in common with sampling? We’re living at a time musically when anything can happen. At the forefront of blending classical music with new technology is Ryan Lott, founder of the electronic band Son Lux and composer of yMusic’s newest album, First.
We had a great time with everyone at Lion's Tail for Opus Affair March! Thanks to everyone who came out, and see you next month!

Some of you may be familiar with Maria through her work as the founder of Kadence Arts or as a driving force behind Masary Studios.
This week, Opus Affair caught up with cellist/aerialist/yogi extraordinaire Rachel Barringer. Originally from LA, Rachel moved to Boston to study cello at the Longy School of Music. Now, eleven years later, Rachel plays in the Sonic Liberation Players, a chamber orchestra specializes in 21st-century music; teaches aerials and flexibility at the Commonwealth Circus Center; and performs with the Boston Circus Guild. Rachel will be performing as part of the Boston Circus Guild with Symphony Nova on March 16 and will be teaching yoga at the Detox/Retox AcousticaElectronica Yoga Mashup on April 6 at OBERON.
