“This was on my list of ideas I’ve always wanted to try,” said Morgan. “The idea was to find someone who would be interesting and have a wide world view. Part of the reason for the series is to show the next generation that people you wouldn’t normally associate with a symphony orchestra actually have interest in and knowledge of a symphony orchestra. It’s for everybody.”. Morgan has always pushed the boundaries of what an orchestra can do — in past Oakland Symphony programs, he presented soul icon Isaac Hayes and legendary rock guitarist Carlos Santana. His annual “Let us Break Bread” concerts are a fabulous mix — just last month, the choral concert featured Prince and Leonard Cohen songs alongside traditional holiday favorites.
