Some of our most fond memories as children are often cuddling up in our bed right before we drift into dreamland and listening to our parents tell us stories of far off lands. The Pacific Symphony takes this comforting experience and elevates it, bringing story time to a whole new world. Come and join the musical group with an afternoon of Musical Storytime at 3:30pm at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center in Mission Viejo.
Sponsored by Disneyland, this event finds the happiest place in your heart for music. It is a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to play instruments, sing and dance along to the classic story of The Little Red Hen Sees Blue! The little red hen works hard all day long to create a delicious treat, but will any of her friends help her? Kids ages 4-7 and accompanying adults young at heart will learn the joys of making music and lasting memories together.
The core purpose of the Pacific Symphony is to enrich “the human spirit through superior performances of symphonic music and community engagement.” The organization celebrated its 30th anniversary in its 2008-2009 season and is the largest orchestra formed in the United States in the last 40 years. This season is a milestone for its Music Director, Carl St. Clair, as he celebrates his 20th anniversary with the orchestra. Come join him in sharing his vision for the future of the Pacific Symphony in the community.
Rooted in its multi-cultural home of Orange County, the Symphony seeks to make strides on both national and international music scenes. It is also a proud to partner with the Orange County Chapter of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association, supporting Music and Movement Education.
The Pacific Symphony performs more than 100 concerts every year, touching more than 275,000 O.C. residents, from school children to senior citizens. The talented musical group continues to grace the stage of the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine for its outdoor summer concert series.
Tickets are $15 per person and program. Participants will have another opportunity to experience the musical event on Saturday, March 27th when it returns with Musical Storytime featuring the tall-tale of Jack and the Beanstalk! The Norman P. Murray Center in Mission Viejo is located at 24932 Veteran’s Way. For more information on the Pacific Symphony visit the organization’s website at www.PacificSymphony.org.
