Major headliners include Chris Botti, Bernadette Peters, Martin Short and Michael Feinstein; plus A Cirque Christmas and Classical Mystery Tour’s evening of Beatles hits
Also, drummer for The Police Stewart Copeland performs his score to “Ben Hur”
A gala season awaits as great stars in entertainment lead the way to celebrate Richard Kaufman’s 25-year legacy as principal pops conductor of Pacific Symphony.
While last season marked the occasion of Music Director Carl St.Clair’s 25th anniversary, 2015-16 puts the spotlight on Kaufman, who has championed the lighter side of the Symphony, bringing countless memorable artists to the stage.
What better way to celebrate than with some of the best songs and genres of our time delivered by mega-watt stars and backed by the lush, magnificent sounds of the full symphony orchestra? This special season includes major headliners and the return of Orange County favorites including trumpeter extraordinaire Chris Botti, Broadway diva Bernadette Peters, comedy legend Martin Short and Golden-Age champion Michael Feinstein.
The amazing acrobats of Cirque de la Symphonie return for A Cirque Christmas, and Classical Mystery Tour delivers dozens of Beatles hits as they were originally recorded with orchestra. Also, Stewart Copeland, former drummer for The Police, joins the Symphony to perform his score to the 1925 silent film, “Ben Hur.”
The Symphony’s Pops series, revered nationally for presenting top headliners and great shows backed by the full orchestra, takes place in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Seven-concert subscriptions are available and range from $235-$1,050. Single tickets go on sale Aug. 16, and range from $35-$155.
