"Creating this experience has felt like the culmination of what I've spoken about and worked towards my entire life."The eclectic creative collective includes seven-time Grammy winner Jacob Collier, poet and author Ocean Vuong, musician Ajeet and gospel singer Wintley Phipps, with additional performances and contributions from Oscar-nominated composer Max Richter, Grammy-winning musician and vocal director Jason White and electronic artist Jon Hopkins.The production's storytelling and visual language will be shaped by Oscar-winning screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney, artist Es Devlin and the Plum Village Monks, among others. Director Ethan Tobman and producer Baz Halpin lead the producing team, while executive producers include Winfrey, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, Tara McNally Montgomery, Ben Winston, Andrew Maxwell Mangino and Evan Sharp.Presented by Live Nation, AHA will mark a rare convergence of Oprah's live presence with a large-scale multimedia production built specifically around Sphere's technological capabilities.
