Please join the Oakland Civic Orchestra - a recent San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Award winner for Favorite Community Orchestra - for its “Shostakovich!” concert. The concert opens with the reverent Hymn for Everyone by Jessie Montgomery, followed by the premiere of Composer-in-Residence Niko Umar Durr’s Interlude, a prayerful excerpt from a new work for strings. Finally, Music Director Martha Stoddard leads the tumultuous Tenth Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich, the iconic work often described as a portrait of Stalin and which premiered in December 1953, just months after Stalin's death. Advance ticket purchase is recommended. Purchase your tickets early for special discount pricing!
