We'll start with the captivating swing of Duke Ellington's hopeful, forward-looking New World A-Comin', with its vision of a post-World War II country in which oppression and racism no longer exist. The bubbly exuberance of Gershwin's American in Paris captures the delight and wonder of an American visitor taking in the sights and sounds of Paris for the first time. <BR><BR>We're pleased to bring back the extraordinary pianist Sara Buechner for a performance of Bernstein's searching Age of Anxiety, an unusual symphony featuring solo piano. Sara's powerful performance with OEBS in 2009 was a highlight of that season. <BR><BR>We'll also pay tribute to our neighbors south of the border with Alberto Ginastera's wildly popular Estancia, a lively work incorporating themes from Argentine cowboy music.<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>
