The Marin Symphony this week announced its 2010-11 program and one of its highlight concerts will feature a tad more "Touch of Grey" than usual. This year's fall schedule will sound the opening bells on the symphony's new First Fusion series--a slate of annual concerts featuring collaborations between the symphony and notable rock musicians. This year's inaugural event--a benefit for the Marin Symphony on Oct. 22--will feature former members of the Grateful Dead in collaboration with the symphony. The season officially kicks off on Oct. 3 and 5 with an opening night of Richard Strauss's opera "Der Rosenkavalier," Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and, one of the all time classics of classical, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The season continues Nov. 14 and 16 with a world premiere by composer Avner Dorman, along with works by William Walton and Tchaikovsky; on Jan. 30 and Feb. 1 the Symphony offers concerts of Haydn's Symphony No. 49 and two works by Mozart; March 13 and 15 gets romantic with Leonard Bernstein's symphonic dances from "West Side Story" and a selection of favorites from the Marin Symphony Chorus; the season rounds out May 1 and 3, 2011 with a Persian-myth-based composition by Behzad Ranjbaran, along with works by Dvorak and Brahms.
