Eugene Symphony’s “The Color of Sound” - creating Alexander Scriabin’s Light Organ

Special Projects

  • Lecce-Chong and the Santa Rosa Symphony present a complete cycle of Rachmaninoff’s four major symphonic works paired with music by Hollywood’s most creative composers from Max Steiner and Erich Korngold to Hildur Guðnadóttir and John Williams.

  • A presentation by the Santa Rosa Symphony with original dialogue, staging, and sets created by Lecce-Chong in collaboration with the ArtQuest program at Santa Rosa High School. Performance in April, 2023.

  • Lecce-Chong and the Eugene Symphony brought one of the most important and influential works of Western art to Oregon for the first time in over 50 years. Each of the three monumental acts received its own separate semi-staged performance while each opening half featured a unique narrated introduction focusing on the music, text, philosophy, and legacy of the opera.

  • A three-concert arc curated by Lecce-Chong exploring the connections (and breaking down the barriers) between creator, performer, and listener. It featured collaborations with visual artists and dancers, composer and performer residencies, and several multimedia works.

  • The Eugene Symphony collaborated with multiple local tech companies to build Alexander Scriabin’s “light organ” - a 7-foot LED orb controlled by midi-keyboard. The project also brought together young artists in a year-long mentorship program exploring the connection between color and sound. The sold-out concert featured Scrabin’s “Prometheus” and “Poem of Ecstasy.”
