Oakland East Bay Symphony Orchestra Tickets

This was my first time at the paramount it was more then i imagine. I have always wanted to go to the symphony and not really knowing what to look forward to this event is one of the most amazing experience I will always remember and share i will say this don't hesitate from begin to end just amazing looking forward to a opera show now

It was a wonderful evening! The performances were very enjoyable. It was great to also see Joan Biaz again.. She did her thing! The choirs were fantastic! It set the mood for the Christmas season and Jesus is the reason. Looking fwd to next year!!

all groups were excellent, good diversity of people and music.

Let Us Break Bread Together was a delightful, inspiring, totally uplifting event! I especially loved the Mt. Eden High School Choir, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir and, of course, Kugelplex. It's a shame, though, that Joan Baez has lost her voice.

It was amazing. Thank you for showing off some of the talent in the community.

An outstanding evening! Everyone who was involved in the program did a great job. I was so impressed with the Mt. Eden choral group. In this day of school programs getting cut it was so rewarding to see that their district has managed to keep music alive.

This was an excellent production from start to finish. Mt. Eden High school Choir especially good. Outstanding singing by all chorus participants, and the solo from the Oakland Gospel Choir brought the house down. Michael Morgan, as always, keeps the pace moving well and adds high energy as the quintessential master of ceremonies and director of the event. Audience participation at the end was very welcome and enjoyable.

I have obeen before but I had forgotten how absolutely uplifting it is. Everything was wonderful-Mt Eden- voices of angels; East Bay Interfaith Choir- lifted the roof off and the baritone to tenor, oh my; the symphony and choral where great as usual. Kugelplex put a smile on my Face. Then there was the incomparable Joan Baez. Then, to hold everything together, "calling audibles" Mr Morgan your very funny Conductor. We may have to make this an annual thing- I think we have said that before. Thank You

This concert was FABULOUS! A wonderful addition to the holiday season. My only criticism was that it was almost totally Christian in orientation and at this time of year and in our current pluralistic society, I would prefer the addition of music from other traditions as well.

Every year the concert is fantastic, every group is great and unique. It lifts your spirit to attend and participate. I hope I will be fortunate enough to go every year.

For a christmas concert this got me ready for the holidays. I enjoyed the quality of singing by the Mount Eden High School Concert choir. Also, the OIGC numbers brought a little spice to the concert. Kuglefects was interesting but not my kind of music.

This show and venue was a great Holiday experience. I'd highly recommend. The music was fabulous--something for every taste, the atmosphere was fun and warm, the venue beautiful.

Wonderful, Excellent, Really Great! I have attended the Christmas show in the past. This was by far the best. The addition of Joan Baez to the program made it even better. Future shows including her would encourage me to attend every time. Her four songs were great! An improvement might have been the choirs, the symphony, guest appearances would be 2 or 3 more songs by Joan.

Six Stars to Maestro Michael Morgan for his leadership in creating an EXCEPTIONAL EVENT. This was my FIRST Let Us Break Bread Together. I had heard about how glorious the experience was..... YET, to witness it....in the company of 3000+ full house Paramount was a moment to savor.... There were many poignant and lovely moments to cherish...throughout....First and foremost beginning with......THAT CHOIR!!!.........Eden High School: ....Oh my God!...... Maestro Morgan is correct: IF ONLY other high schools throughout the US and World should be similarly blessed...HOW DIFFERENT the world indeed would be And then came the luminous and poignant JOAN BAEZ during a very special moment in Oakland history:the Occupy Movement. How brilliant, how poignant, how beautiful to hear her.....and to understand the legacy of what her life's work means even today. Last but not least are two special pearls the amazing KUGELPLEX with their rich and wonderful showcase of music of the Jewish Diaspora and the amazingly versatile solo artist and choral director ,TERRANCE KELLY of The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir in a ........standing ovation...... rendition of the beloved O Holy NIght. I want to hear Terrance Kelly spotlighted and showcased as solo artist with his amazing choir....AGAIN and AGAIN! Mr. Kelly was magnificent in his praise gospel rendition...harkening back to James Cleveland and the young Aretha Franklin. A beautiful afternoon..... with a wonderful Orchestra and Conductor lovingly showcasing beloved music of The Holidays. THIS will certainly become a HOLIDAY TRADITION in my Holidays to come....

I was a great show. There was wonderful diversity. Just before the show I was involved in a substantial car crash. Nonetheless, I decided to attend and found it a great tonic for the spirit. Bravo

Another outstanding event with Michael Morgan and all the performers.

Brought my elderly mother. The Paramount is stunning to look at and very accommodating to people with disabilities. Can't remember the last time I saw a performance that literally filled my heart and soul with joy. Michael Morgan brings it all together in a warm relaxed way. Absolutely a not to be missed performance and community building experience.

The music was awesome. Who knew when I paid top prices for our seats that row J would have spots from which we could not see Joan Baez when she sang? Michael Morgan, a great conductor, completely blocked all of the featured singers. I finally went and stood in the aisle so I could catch a glimpse of a longtime favorite singer. If we go again, It's the balcony for me.

A very enjoyable evening, a melodious selection of music that flowed through the passage of time, Michael Morgan is fascinating to watch and the orchestra was absolutely superb!

The Herrmann: Straight forward and terrific. The Fourth: The French Horn Section let us down a time or two. But very very nice. The Amendola : Not clever. Not thoughtful. Not musical. INSIPID. And I'm generally a fan of new music.
