| . | Great Music Since 1989 Dear Friend, Many of you have been subscribing to the Oakland East Bay Symphony for some time, enjoying the same familiar seats for concerts throughout the season. You’ve seen our orchestra get better and better, and you know the value of coming together as a community for a shared, positive experience. With all the economic doom and gloom in the news, I understand that you’re being careful with your money, and that you may be asking yourself if a subscription to Oakland East Bay Symphony is a good value. It absolutely is! The performing arts remain a real bargain, and in times like these, we need art to lift our spirits and nourish our souls more than ever. And because we haven’t raised our subscription prices for two years, you’re getting a great deal when you subscribe, whether you’re in premium seats or one of the very affordable sections. There’s another reason I hope you’ll renew your subscription now: to guarantee your seat for my 20th season as Music Director. The “right” job for a conductor is one in which he or she is a good match for both city and orchestra. I’ve always felt that here, which is why I’ve stayed for 20 years. And who knows — maybe I’ll be here for 20 more. So please renew your subscription now and join me for my 20th anniversary as Music Director. We’ve added Sunday matinee repeats of two of our concerts to give you more options (these will be great for families; be sure to tell your friends who have children), and we’ve got a great season ahead, including two performances of Beethoven’s crowning achievement, the glorious Ninth Symphony.. Best wishes,
