The Oakland East Bay Symphony season starts Nov 9th with a bang, I am also looking forward to the Chinese and Persian new year celebrations.
We'll open in grand style with popular works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein. Maestro Morgan will launch the season with Beethoven's immortal Fifth Symphony, and the Paramount will resound with the most famous and frequently sampled four notes in Western music.
The orchestra will also perform Leonard Bernstein's complete score to the acclaimed Jerome Robbins ballet Fancy Free, a work about three sailors on leave in New York that was later expanded into the hit Broadway musical On the Town and the Academy Award-winning film starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.
Soprano Hope Briggs, who made her debut as the soprano soloist in our 2006 performance of Dvorak's Stabat Mater, returns to the stage of the Paramount Theatre to perform arias from a variety of operas by Wagner, Puccini and Verdi.
