The Oakland East Bay Symphony and Music Director Michael Morgan conclude their 2014-2015 season with "all the best in the best of all possible worlds" in the form of Leonard Bernstein's masterful and droll take on Voltaire's biting, farcical satire, Candide. The Symphony and Maestro Morgan will be joined in the concert performance by the Oakland Symphony Chorus and soloists.
Following its premiere in 1956 as a comic opera by Leonard Bernstein with libretto originally by playwright Lillian Hellman, it has become one of the most important and lauded and popular works of the American musical theater tradition.
