The First Cello Concerto of Camille Saint-Saëns, featuring Federico Strand Ramirez, follows in all its virtuosic, dramatic, and lyrically elegant rhetoric. This is Mr. Strand Ramirez’s first appearance as soloist with the CCCO. Following intermission, the concert concludes with the Symphony No. 1 by Ludwig van Beethoven, the great titan’s first of nine masterworks in this genre that profoundly influenced all symphonic music that came after.

RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK
Wahpepah’s Kitchen
3301 East 12th St Suite #133, Oakland, CA,
Crystal Wahpepah is an enrolled member of the Kickapoo nation of Oklahoma. She was born and raised in Oakland, California, on Ohlone land, surrounded by a multi-tribal, tight-knit, urban Native community. Crystal’s objectives for Wahpepah’s Kitchen are threefold: (1) to acknowledge that we live on stolen land; and (2) how that acknowledgement connects to the reclamation of Native food ways (food sovereignty); as well as (3) to educate communities and organizations on the health benefits of Native food ways using the knowledge passed onto her.
Why Consider Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area?
If you’ve been contemplating a move to the San Francisco Bay Area, consider making the East Bay your home. Here’s why:
1. More Affordable Housing Options
Compared to San Francisco, the East Bay offers more affordable real estate, whether you’re looking to buy or rent. You can find beautiful homes in thriving communities without the sky-high price tag.
2. Great Weather Year-Round
The East Bay enjoys a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures than foggy San Francisco. It’s perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who love hiking, biking, and enjoying local parks.
3. Excellent Schools & Family-Friendly Neighborhoods
Cities like Walnut Creek, Orinda, and Lafayette are known for top-rated schools and safe, family-friendly communities. If you’re raising kids, the East Bay offers a fantastic environment for education and recreation.
4. Thriving Job Market
With easy access to major employment hubs like San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley, East Bay residents can enjoy career opportunities while maintaining a lower cost of living.
5. Easy Access to the Best of the Bay Area
Living in the East Bay means you’re just a short drive or BART ride away from everything the Bay Area has to offer—whether it’s a night out in San Francisco, a wine-tasting trip to Napa, or a beach day in Santa Cruz.
