The concert opens with the Third Symphony of Mendelssohn, a charming piece inspired by the sights and sounds of the Scottish people and countryside. <BR><BR>Tchaikovsky's rousing 1812 Overture, probably his best-known work and now a staple of Fourth of July celebrations throughout the country, is an ideal piece to perform with double orchestra. Musicians from Oakland East Bay Symphony will be joined by the Oakland Youth Orchestra (which Maestro Morgan also directs) for a big, extravagant performance of this stirring orchestral tribute to Russia's victory over Napoleon.<BR><BR>The final offering is a concerto featuring the winner of our 12th annual Young Artist Competition<BR></FONT></FONT></P></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" WIDTH="185" ALIGN="CENTER"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"> <MAP NAME="map5"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="1,3,58,53" HREF="http://www.wellsfargo.com" ALT="Wells Fargo" TARGET="_top"> </MAP></FONT></TD> </TR> <TR STYLE="height:27.0pt"> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:291.85pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="15"></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:291.85pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="350"> <P CLASS="MsoNormal" STYLE="margin-bottom:12.0pt" ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE="-1"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3"></FONT><BR></FONT></P></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" WIDTH="185" ALIGN="LEFT"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
