A stunning performance on an electric organ -or- How can one talented woman impersonate an entire orchestra?

Check out this TED talk to see what a virtuoso organist can do with latest technology.

Organ virtuoso Qi Zhang plays her electric rendering of “Ridiculous Fellows” from Prokofiev’s “The Love for Three Oranges” orchestral suite. This exhilarating performance from TEDx USC features the Yamaha Electone Stagea, a rare, imported instrument specially programmed by Qi herself.

Qi Zhang is a Master’s candidate at University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, and an award-winning international organist.
