DESCRIPTION:Hosted by The Oakland S.\nMusicians: Sara Davis Buechner\n\nOne
  of the truly outstanding local music institutions is the East Bay’s own
  **Oakland Symphony** and we are thrilled to be partnering up with them ag
 ain this season. So get ready for an exhilarating evening of orchestral co
 lor\, power\, and imagination! 🎶✨\n\nInternationally acclaimed pianis
 t **Sara Davis Buechner** joins the orchestra for a program that brings to
 gether some of the most dazzling works of the 20th and 21st centuries — 
 a night where rhythm\, fire\, and beauty converge.\n\nThe concert opens wi
 th **Anna Clyne**’s *This Midnight Hour*\, a visceral and cinematic piec
 e inspired by poetry of Jiménez and Baudelaire. Darkly mysterious and fie
 rcely energetic\, it plunges you into a sound world that feels both urgent
  and timeless. Next\, Sara Davis Buechner takes the stage for **Ravel**’
 s *Piano Concerto in G* — a jazz-infused masterpiece that sparkles with 
 wit and elegance in the outer movements while revealing heart-stopping ten
 derness in its luminous Adagio.\n\nFrom there\, the program unfolds into *
 *Adolphus Hailstork**’s *Symphony No. 1* — a radiant work blending the
  traditions of European symphonic form with the rhythms\, spirit\, and mel
 odic vitality of African American musical heritage. Bold\, lyrical\, and d
 eeply soulful\, it’s a symphony that demands to be heard live. \n\nAnd f
 inally\, the evening closes in a blaze of orchestral glory with **Stravins
 ky**’s *Firebird Suite* (1919) — a thrilling reimagining of Russian fa
 iry tales\, alive with shimmering colors\, sweeping melodies\, and a final
 e that will send you out of the hall on a wave of pure exhilaration.\n\nCo
 me early for a pre-concert talk about the program with John Kendall Bailey
  \, which begins at 7:05pm.\n\nWhile some tickets to this opening night ar
 e upwards of $90\, **we’ve got a stack of tickets for only $20. Supplies
 \, however\, are limited\, so make your move! And have an amazing Night Ou
 t!
