Pacific Symphony presents SYMPHONY IN THE CITIES

Kick back, relax, crack open a picnic basket and enjoy a warm summer evening with family and friends, as Pacific Symphony sends a swirl of glorious symphonic music into the air for "Symphony in the Cities" (SITC)! Each summer, the Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, takes the opportunity to express its gratitude to all of its neighbors by travelling throughout Orange County to deliver a little fun and inspirational music to old friends and new.

This summer, the orchestra makes appearances in the cities of Irvine, Mission Viejo and Newport Beach, where the Symphony, along with talented young guest artists, Danielle and Sarah Liu, dancers from the Yaya Dance Academy, and the Southern California Children's Chorus, deliver an evening chock full of light classical, pops and patriotic music for an eclectic, energy-infused evening of everyone's favorite tunes!

From masterpieces by Brahms, Bach and Strauss and lively music by Leonard Bernstein and John Williams to rousing tunes by John Phillip Sousa, plus activities for children and families-it's a perfect way to end a summer day in the great outdoors. Families are encouraged to bring picnics, blankets and chairs and arrive early for the Symphony's Musical Playground and city festivities, prior to settling back for a little music under the magnificent OC sky. These concerts are free, no ticket required! For more information, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org/SITC.
