Oakland Symphony

Our incredible MUSE Stringendo students absolutely shone during their recent performance at Children’s Fairyland! 🎻🏰 Watching them grow and collaborate is what the Oakland Symphony family is all about!

Huge thank you to for hosting us, and to all the families and supporters who came out to cheer them on.

“By now, it’s no secret that the Oakland Symphony had a darn good 2025-2026 season. Music Director Kedrick Armstrong is a flat-out star, and he constructed a season that outshone the orchestra’s neighbors in vision and excitement.”

Led by Kedrick Armstrong, the orchestra performed Dett’s 1932 oratorio The Ordering of Moses — it deserves to be played more often.

We are so proud to feature our MUSE VIVO ensemble members alongside the OSYO at our special free and all-ages Mother’s Day concert on Sunday, May 10.

The concert will feature soloist Rahul Ghosh, delivering a dazzling performance that highlights the dedication of our young musicians. This performance showcases the incredible trajectory of our students from intensive school-based training to the symphonic stage.

Last week's gala was everything. Oakland showed up, and you raised more than $405,000 for music education, community access, and the next generation of Oakland artists.

Thank you for being in that room. We're still feeling it! 🎶❤️
