By presenting socially relevant, artistically excellent concert programming and providing community-responsive educational programs, Oakland Symphony strives to create deep, personal connections between people of all backgrounds, onstage and off. We are committed to breaking the actual and perceived barriers that prevent full participation in symphonic music, and to fostering a community where everyone can share the joy of live performance. This commitment to community guides Music Director Michael Morgan’s artistic vision and drives our extensive investment in music education and community engagement.
