Music for Love and Venom

During January, students at Oberlin College's Conservatory of Music recorded an original score, by composer Ryan Lester ('11), for "Love and Venom": an upcoming episode of The Amerikans featuring Don Downs, an apitherapist from Wellington, Ohio. The musicians include: cellist Jennifer Carpenter, violist Rosalind Soltow, violinist Rachel Iba, and clarinetist Jarret Hoffman. The session was conducted by Oscar Thorp and recorded by Charles Glanders, who will also be doing sound design for the episode. "Love and Venom" is one of three episodes funded by a grant from the Lorain County Community Foundation.
