particularly poignant in this election week and includes a very exciting all-

american program and works by two local composers: the World Premiere

local composer and UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus, olly Wilson. We could

not create these performance and education opportunities without your

Message from the MaestroWelcome to our election week opening night. Whatever the outcome,

we should celebrate the fact that we live in a country where nearly

everyone is eligible to vote and therefore has a role in running the

republic. There has been a great and historical struggle to bring us to

this point and for those who choose to participate, it is a moment that

brings us together. We celebrate this aspect of american life with an

all-american program of composers of local, national and international

importance. and we thank you for celebrating with us.

– Michael Morgan, Music Director

acclaimed and community-focused leading regional orchestra

dedicated to serving the diverse population of the East Bay. it has

gained regional and national recognition for its unique convergence

of artistic excellence, community service and education programs.

Under the artistic leadership of Maestro Michael Morgan, oEBs

reaches over 60,000 people annually, with more than one-third of its

on the concert stage, oEBs has become an important positive force

in bringing together the talents and resources of diverse artists,

performing arts organizations and audiences from throughout the

Bay area. (information about these programs can be found at www.

oebs.org.)

oEBs has fostered collaborations with local arts organizations

from children’s choruses to jazz ensembles to dance and opera. The

symphony showcases new american works in performance and

encourages young artists. in its efforts to support new music, oEBs

formed a multi-year partnership with The James irvine Foundation to

initiate various commissioning projects including the new Visions/

new Vistas initiatives. in June of 2010, oEBs forged a closer partnership

with oakland Youth orchestra and oakland symphony Chorus in a

merger that resulted in the formation of East Bay Performing arts.

under both solti and Daniel Barenboim. in 1986 he was invited by

leonard Bernstein to make his debut with the new York Philharmonic.

as a guest conductor he has appeared with most of america’s major

orchestras, as well as the new York City opera, st. louis opera Theater

Program NotesAmerican Fanfare Adolphus Cunningham Hailstork (b.1941)adolphus Hailstork studied at the Manhattan school of Music, Michigan state University, and Howard University. He also studied with nadia Boulanger at the american institute at Fontainebleau, and with Mark Fax at Howard University. He is now Professor of Music and Eminent scholar at old Dominion University in norfolk, Virginia. Composed in 1985, American Fanfare was a contest entry for a fanfare celebrating the opening of a new wing at a Richmond, Virginia art gallery. The first performance was given by the Virginia symphony orchestra in January, 1991. – Charley Samson, © 2012

Homework Suite Gordon Getty (b.1933) american composer Gordon Getty’s works have been performed throughout north america and Europe in such prestigious venues as new York’s Carnegie Hall and lincoln Center, london’s Royal Festival Hall, Vienna’s Brahmssaal, and Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall, as well as at the aspen, spoleto and Bad Kissingen Festivals. in 1986, he was honored as an outstanding american Composer at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing arts, and he was awarded the 2003 Gold Baton of the american symphony orchestra league.

Getty wrote Homework Suite in 1961 and 1962 while still at the Conservatory. in his program note, he writes: “They weren’t actually homework assignments, but more in the nature of voluntary work. i wasn’t aware of the echoes of Chopin in ‘Ghost Waltz’ and ‘night Horses’ until a few years later. in truth, they don’t bother me. My teacher at the Conservatory was the renowned sol Joseph. i was lucky. These compositions, and everything i have written since, bear something of his mark. Yes, and Chopin’s too, for although Mr. Joseph was and is of the twelve-tone persuasion, he taught us the old masters with instinct and conviction.” Go to www.gordongetty.com for more information. – Charley Samson, © 2012

Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra with Harp & Piano Aaron Copland (1900-1990) “The King of swing,” Benny Goodman, commissioned the Clarinet Concerto in 1947. He was soloist at the first performance, on november 6, 1950, with the nBC symphony orchestra under Fritz Reiner’s direction. The Clarinet Concerto is in two movements, with a cadenza for the soloist in between. “The general character” of the opening movement, said Copland, “is lyric and expressive. The cadenza that follows provides the soloist with considerable opportunity to demonstrate his prowess, at the same time introducing fragments of the melodic material to be heard in the second movement. some of this material represents an unconscious fusion of elements obviously related to north and south american popular music.” – Charley Samson, © 2012

Episodes for Orchestra Olly Wilson (b.1937) Program note by Olly WilsonEpisodes for orchestra was commissioned by the Detroit symphony orchestra and dedicated to its conductor, Maestro neeme Jarvi, and the Detroit symphony orchestra musicians. The work was composed in 2000-2001 during the period that i served as Composer-in-Residence at the Detroit symphony. Episodes for Orchestra is a one-movement work in which a series of interrelated sections gradually unfold. Each section, or episode, initially appears to be independent of the others; however, in the course of the work, the nature of their relationship is revealed.

The first three short episodes, each characterized by contrasting orchestral textures, form an opening sub-section. The fourth episode alludes to motifs and musical gestures associated with the jazz tradition, but they are placed here within an abstract musical context. The fifth episode, an extended melodic lyrical section, comprises the middle portion of the work. The sixth and seventh episodes present the composition’s conclusion with a climatic developmental summation of all the previous episodes.

Symphonic Dances from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) With book by arthur laurents, lyrics by stephen sondheim and music by leonard Bernstein, West Side Story was first performed on august 19, 1957 in Washington, D.C. The show opened at the Winter Garden Theater in new York on september 26, 1957 and ran for 973 performances. The film version, with natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, George Chakiris and Rita Moreno, appeared in 1961. it was voted Best Picture of the Year and earned ten oscars. Concurrently, with the aid of sid Ramin and irwin Kostal, Bernstein had assembled the symphonic Dances from West Side Story. The first performance took place at a Pension Fund Benefit concert of the new York Philharmonic on February 13, 1961.

There are nine dances, played without pause. The Prologue depicts the rivalry of the two gangs, the Jets and the sharks. somewhere and scherzo suggest a dream world beyond the city’s confines. Mambo finds the two gangs in a competitive dance. The lovers Tony and Maria dance together in Cha-Cha and finally speak in the Meeting scene. The Jets are getting hostile in Cool-Fugue and leaders of both gangs are killed during the Rumble. in the Finale, Tony dies in Maria’s arms and the somewhere theme is recalled during the funeral procession. – Charley Samson, © 2012

Oakland East Bay Symphony Building Community Through MusicMusic transforms lives, and oakland East Bay symphony has provided high-quality music education and enrichment activities to oakland and beyond for over 20 years.

The symphony is a leader in music education for young people, making classical music accessible, particularly to those in the community who might otherwise never experience live symphonic music.

our Music for Excellence (MUsE) program is a multi-component music education and enrichment initiative that serves young people at public schools and community sites throughout oakland. By providing these programs free to participants, the symphony ensures that each year, over 18,000 young people have access to a variety of music education and enrichment activities, regardless of their economic situation. one third of the symphony’s budget is dedicated to MUsE.

The ongoing and generous support of our donors has been integral to our work and the fulfillment of our mission. Contributions to the MUsE program are used to support: The in-school Mentor and after-school Programs, free annual Young Peoples’ Concerts, Young artist Competition, Ensemble Visits to the schools, school Visits by Maestro Morgan, and more.

For more information about how to get involved and support our education programs, please contact us at (510) 444-0801.
