March Light and Delight - Pacific Symphony Gala
Events and Concerts – March 2010
By Lydia E.
Ringwald
March is a
splendid month for Pacific Symphony music
aficionados. On March 6, symphony supporters
celebrate wine and music at the Pacific Coast
Wine Festival at the Island Hotel in Newport
with a lavish dinner accompanied by an array of
fine collector wines.
For the past three years, Pacific Symphony Board
members Mike Kerr and Valerie Van De Zilver have
had the tongue in cheek ‘solemn’ task of tasting
the marvelous selections that will be offered at
the annual event. This year’s wine tasting will
include such rare vintages Haut Brion, Mouton,
Petrus, Harlan, Vega Sicilia, Cheval Blanc,
Dumol, Hundred Acre, Kistler, Lafite Rothschild,
Lewilling to name just a few.
At the event, expert sommeliers offer guests
wine selections from elite vineyards from
California’s Pacific Coast California to the
world-renowned European vineyards. A live and
silent auction of unique luxuries and gift items
creates the evening’s entertainment to raise
funds for Pacific Symphony’s important artistic
and educational outreach programs.
Proceeds that benefit educational and arts
programs have increased with each year’s the
gala event, with over $125,000 donated last
year.
Only 300 guest tickets at $250 per person are
available for Pacific Symphony’s most chic
artistic and social event of the year. Wise to
contact Ricki Shab now at
rshab@pacificsymphony.org
to reserve for this exclusive event.
Included in the Pops series March 11-13, enjoy a
‘Salute to John Williams ‘ with Pacific Symphony
performing the most recognizable soundtracks of
legendary composer who set the music to
Hollywood’s most popular films.
Themes
from ‘Star Wars,’ “E.T,’ ‘Indiana Jones’ ‘Harry
Potter’ will be included in the evening’s
tribute, conducted by Richard Kaufman.
March, 18-20, Clair St. James conducts theme
music for “Gershwin and All that Jazz’ a bill
that includes Gershwin’s ‘Concerto in F,’
Ellington’s ‘King Solomon from the “Three Black
Kings,”’ Bernstein’s ‘Preludes, Fugues and
Riffs,’ along with Ticheli’s ‘Blue Shades’ and
Shostakovich’s ‘Dance 1 from Jazz Suite No. 2.’
Alain Lefevre on piano and baritone Kevin Deas
contribute texture and depth to this monumental
jazz tribute. It’s a thrill to experience the
century’s jazz greats in one splendid evening.
Pacific Symphony brings light and delight to
Orange County this March. For detailed
