Another http://www.CoolCleveland.com video exclusive. VIDEO: Tesla Orchestra Bach Fugue Lightning Bolt Demonstration Music played by lightning is certainly something to see. And that's not all in store for you at Temple of Tesla. The evening will feature original music selected from an international competition, The Open Spark Project, where composers from around the world submitted works online to hear their performances played in lightning live via online video feed. In addition, the 12 to 15 foot lightning bolts will be accompanied by The Blue Ribbon Glee Club, a Chicago-based a capella group performing covers of classic punk rock songs. "This performance will be an intense experience in terms of both sights and sounds," says Ian Charnas. "This is a rare opportunity to hear music written specifically for Tesla coils and also to experience it in this amazing venue. In fact, this is one of the only venues that was large enough to accomodate the indoor lightning show we'll be giving the crowd." If you've never seen Tesla coils or a Faraday cage in action, you simply must check out this video of their rehearsal (then, head over to buy your tickets). The orchestra played an arrangement of a Bach Fugue in C Minor (BWV 582) with Ian Charnas, a member of the Tesla team, inside the Faraday Cage. Catch their upcoming performance on Sat 6/11 at 8PM @ The Masonic Performing Arts Center at 3615 Euclid Ave., Cleveland. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door.
