Pacific Symphony

The largest orchestra formed in the United States in the latter half of the twentieth century, Pacific Symphony has grown from a modest community ensemble into one of Southern California's most important cultural institutions. Performing at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa — a César Pelli-designed venue celebrated for its warm, enveloping acoustics — the orchestra presents an ambitious season under the long-tenured leadership of Music Director Carl St.Clair. Pacific Symphony's commitment to new music, opera collaborations, and education has earned it a devoted following in Orange County and beyond.
