Under the leadership of Music Director Michael Morgan, the Oakland East Bay Symphony has enjoyed both growth and critical acclaim since it was founded in 1988.

The Oakland East Bay Symphony begins its 15th Anniversary Season this November with its subscription series at the stunningly beautiful art deco Paramount Theatre in Oakland. More than 60,000 people attend the Symphony's performances at the Paramount, at churches and senior centers, and at other community sites each year.

The Symphony has become a leader in music education for young people, bringing orchestral music into schools throughout Oakland and the East Bay. Maestro Morgan, who is entering his 14th year with the Symphony, established and expanded the Young People's Concerts, the Ensembles-in-the-Schools program, the Side-By-Side Concert, and the Young Artist Competition. Morgan and members of the orchestra visit approximately 50 elementary, middle and high schools, reaching over 3,300 children each year. A major accomplishment was the implementation of the MUSE Program (MUSic for Excellence) in 1998-99, which provides comprehensive music education in grades K-12 and serves 3,200 students in eighteen Oakland public schools.

The Symphony is an important positive force in bringing together the talents and resources of diverse arts groups from the community. Whenever possible, OEBS collaborates with local ballet, opera, choral and theatrical groups and performs at community events. Additionally, the OEBS helps ensure the future of symphonic music, by frequently commissioning and performing works by contemporary American composers.
