DESCRIPTION:Hosted by The Oakland S.\nMusicians: B. DeVeaux\n\nStand agains
 t the expected with **Groupmuse Nights Out**\, offering deeply discounted 
 tickets to **The Oakland Symphony**’s "DEFIANCE" at the **Paramount Thea
 tre on Friday\, October 16 at 7:30 PM**. Conducted by **Kedrick Armstrong 
 with vocalist B. DeVeaux**\, this powerful program explores music as an ac
 t of resistance—from the atmospheric intensity of **Osnat Netzer**’s *
 Varium cæli* to **Karim Al-Zand**’s *Lamentation on the Disasters of Wa
 r*\, a work confronting the devastation of conflict.\n\nThe evening then e
 rupts into a protest medley featuring music by **The Lumpen\, Tracy Chapma
 n\, and Lauryn Hill** before culminating in **Shostakovich**’s *Symphony
  No. 11*\, “The Year 1905.” Written in the aftermath of revolution and
  filled with tension\, grief\, fury\, and defiance\, Shostakovich’s monu
 mental symphony transforms historical upheaval into an overwhelming orches
 tral experience. **Regular tickets average $50\, but Groupmuse Nights Out 
 brings them down to just $20**—and even less for Supermusers. 🎶🔥
