On September 13, 2014, supporters of Oakland East Bay Symphony’s music and education programs came together at University of California, Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium to have a great time for a wonderful cause, raising $105,000 to keep music thriving in Oakland and the East Bay. The Oakland Symphony Ball, chaired by Symphony Board President Jim Bell and sponsored by Bell Investment Advisors and J.Lohr Vineyards & Wines, transported guests to an opening night in the golden age of Broadway - the 1950s! The evening included performances from Oakland Symphony Chorus Chamber Singers, the Symphony’s Assistant Principal Cellist Joseph Hébert, jazz violinist and composer Mads Tolling, who will be premiering a piece on the Symphony’s 2014-15 season, and Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra violinist Casadora Boone, who also shared her story of growth through the Symphony’s education programs.
