Michael Morgan conducts as the Oakland East Bay Symphony performs Heroes & Giants, a concert featuring works by two of the brightest figures in a generation of European musicians, whose careers were prematurely terminated by the rise of the Nazi regime: Czech composer/pianist Erwin Schulhoff and composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Schulhoff, who died in the Wülzburg concentration camp, was one of the first classical composers in Europe to be inspired by jazz. The orchestra presents his rarely performed Suite for Chamber Orchestra. Principal trumpeter William Harvey is the featured soloist in Weinberg's inspiring Trumpet Concerto. The orchestra will also perform Beethoven's 1804 Symphony No. 3, Eroica, one of his most technically challenging masterpieces. Learn More

Music itself was just okay, although I didn't think it was worth the travel that I had to take from the outside of the East Bay. However, Miss. Briggs performance was remarkable. I would love to see her again one day. Yet, I don't think I would like to go to the Oakland East Bay Symphony again. Also they had such a bad system for will-call that was quite a shame for the historical theater like that. There was only one line for EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING. Lastly, please do something about the females' bathroom. That was just savage.Written on Nov 17 2009

The Oakland East Bay Symphony's Night at the Opera will be a night to remember! This sparkling evening of beautiful voices and lively orchestral playing will bring together music from some of the world's grandest, most famous operas, including Aida and other Verdi favorites, Lucia di Lammermoor and Bernstein's Candide . Michael Morgan has chosen arias, overtures and intermezzos from many of his favorite operas and assembled a group of exceptionally talented young singers-including former Adler Fellow Joshua Bloom, who recently made a successful debut at the Metropolitan Opera-for this special opening night program. You don't have to be an opera-goer to recognize and enjoy the wide range of well-known vocal and orchestral selections featured on this concert.
