Let’s #beatcancer Together

The American Cancer Society and Oakland Symphony are teaming up to raise money to #beatcancer!

To help support the fight against cancer, and to hear some amazing music, join us at the Oakland Symphony concert on Friday, November 17 at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Oakland. When you purchase tickets using the code BEATCANCER, 50% of your ticket price will benefit American Cancer Society!

The concert, titled “Love & Loss” features music exploring the breadth of human emotion – from passion and love to deep sorrow over loss. Alongside works by Mozart and Rossini, you’ll hear Vocare by SF-based composer Jonah Gallagher.

“From the Latin word “to call,” vocare is the root of many words such as evoke, provoke, and invoke – and the piece seeks to use a wide variety of sounds to impact the listener. Vocare came about after a dear friend and mentor of mine finally lost his battle with cancer. He never gave up on me and was willing to have hard conversations about the important things in life. This piece is for him.” – J.M. Gallagher

Please share with friends, family and your network and let’s all come together for a powerful night of music and to raise support for American Cancer Society!
