Oakland East Bay Symphony Presents 'The Height of Romanticism' April 15, 2011

Oakland East Bay Symphony (OEBS) presents an evening of intensity and drama with its concert "The Height of Romanticism". Venturing through two different eras and regions, OEBS will explore obsessive love with Bernard Herrmann's Suite from "Vertigo", one of Alfred Hitchcock's most well-known films, as well as Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, a piece full of the passion and longing experienced by the composer during a time of great personal turmoil and closely associated with two women. A world premiere by Scott Amendola entitled "Fade to Orange" completes the journey through different time periods and represents the fourth and final New Visions/New Vistas premiere. Amendola will be joined by Nels Cline, lead guitarist for the alternative rock band Wilco, and bass player Trevor Dunn. A pre-concert talk with Amendola and John Kendall Bailey begins at 7 pm.
