WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" VSPACE="8"><BR><FONT SIZE="-1">Our February concert features 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 and pianist Erwin Schulhoff, who died in the Wülzburg concentration camp, was one of the first classical composers in Europe to be inspired by jazz. We'll present his rarely performed Suite for Chamber Orchestra. <BR><BR>Mieczyslaw Weinberg had a remarkable life; he lost most of his family in the Holocaust but survived the torments of two brutal dictatorships himself. He fled the German occupation of Poland in 1939, only to fall victim to Stalin's post-war campaign against the Jews. He was released after years of imprisonment, and later created one of the finest trumpet concertos ever written. OEBS Principal Trumpet William Harvey is the featured soloist in this inspiring work. <BR><BR>Beethoven's third Symphony, now known as the <I>Eroica</I>, was originally written in honor of Napoleon and titled <I>Bonaparte</I>. However, when Napoleon declared himself Emperor in 1804, Beethoven was enraged and changed the name of his symphony. Besides the famous story of its rededication, the <I>Eroica</I> is known as one of Beethoven's most challenging masterpieces - long, technically demanding and sublime. <BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><I>(Suitable for children 10 and over.)</I></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><B><I></I></B></FONT></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="28"> </TD> <TD VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT" COLSPAN="3" WIDTH="622"><FONT SIZE="3"><B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial Narrow" COLOR="#323232"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/line-horiz.JPG" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" VSPACE="10"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0">Visit us on:</FONT></B></FONT><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/logos/f_39x40.jpg" WIDTH="25" HEIGHT="25" BORDER="0" USEMAP="#map808088" ALIGN="MIDDLE"> <MAP NAME="map808088"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="3,2,26,26" HREF="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oakland-East-Bay-Symphony/44004960657" ALT="Sign Up and Become a Fan" TARGET="_top"> </MAP><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="2" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="2" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/logos/youtube_49x26.jpg" WIDTH="49" HEIGHT="26" BORDER="0" ALIGN="MIDDLE" USEMAP="#map104939333"> <MAP NAME="map104939333"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="0,2,48,22" HREF="http://www.youtube.com/oebsym" ALT="OEBS on YouTube" TARGET="_top"> </MAP><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><FONT FACE="Arial Narrow"><B><FONT SIZE="-1" COLOR="#323232">Review us on:</FONT></B></FONT><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="18" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/logos/yelp_32.png" WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="26" BORDER="0" ALIGN="MIDDLE" USEMAP="#map123456789"> <MAP NAME="map123456789"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="4,4,24,23" HREF="http://www.yelp.com/biz/oakland-east-bay-symphony-oakland" ALT="Oakland East Bay Symphony" TARGET="_top"> </MAP> <FONT FACE="Arial Narrow" SIZE="-1" COLOR="#FF6600"><B>Yelp<BR></B></FONT><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/line-horiz.JPG" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0" VSPACE="10"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
