Antioch
Oakland Symphony Associate Conductor Takes the Podium with Local
Chamber Orchestra
On November 23, the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra will present
"Love, Death, and Nature" featuring baritone recording artist
Zachary Gordin. Described by Gramophone as "communicating
tangible pleasure in his material", Gordin will perform in the
premiere of the orchestral arrangement of Ralph Vaughn Williams's
poignant House of Life.
Also on the program are Weber's Overture from Der Freischutz,
considered to be the first important Romantic German opera, and
Dvorak's rarely-performed masterpiece, Symphony No. 5.
Bryan Nies, who is the gifted long-time Associate Conductor of
the Oakland Symphony and Principal Conductor of Festival Opera,
will conduct the program. He is serving as Interim
Conductor/Music Director of the orchestra, and will also provide
fascinating insights about the composers and their work during
the concert.
