composer of art songs." Words and music are inextricably linked for this prolific Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer, whose musical and literary ventures include symphonies, concertos, operas, choral works of every description, ballet and theater music, and hundreds of songs as well as books, diaries and collections of essays. Rorem, who lived in Paris for nearly a decade, infuses Letters from Paris with the whimsical French spirit. <BR><BR>Hailed as an "absolute wonder," Andrew Sords is establishing himself as one of the preeminent new faces of classical violin. He makes his debut with OEBS playing one of the greatest concertos ever written, Brahms richly harmonic Violin Concerto. <BR><BR>We'll open the program with Schubert's delightful Overture in C Major, the more popular of the two overtures he wrote in the Italian style. <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>
