You’ll hear Tchaikovsky’s great Fifth Symphony and the West Coast premiere of Brothers in Arts, a new work for Jazz Quintet and Orchestra by Chris Brubeck and Guillaume Saint-James featuring international musicians.You can also view the free live webcast at home at www.givingstage.com and at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond.
The simulcast, made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor, is free of charge for all to enjoy and will begin at 7:00 pm with some behind-the-scenes interviews and activities. “We are grateful for the thoughtfulness of an anonymous supporter who, like all of us at the Oakland East Bay Symphony, is interested in making classical music accessible to the broadest possible audiences in Oakland,” said Music Director Michael Morgan.
The concert takes place at the Paramount Theatre, two blocks from The Great Wall of Oakland. Tickets to the concert at the Paramount Theatre are still available and can be purchased online or by calling 510-444-0802.
