The show closes with a series of songs by horror-punk pioneers The Misfits, Danzig's first band, performed by Danzig and Mistfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. Learn More

Was very happy to wind up in the front row of the terrace section. There was never anybody standing in front of me and we had additional leg room. The venue was very food and drink friendly that night, seeming to allow anything to be brought in to enjoy with the music. The first set was short, but good. The finale, especially when the chorus sang along, were great! We had a very enjoyable event and a discounted price, thanks to GoldStar!Written on Sep 15 2010

The sound at Verizon does not match that at the Segerstrom Hall, which detracted a bit from the production, and the very short first half and overlong intermission detracted, but the Ninth was stupendous, a wonderful rendering of the best musical piece ever. The sound system revealed some interesting instrumentation I had missed on the CD, like bassoon and clarinet soloes. Good show!Written on Sep 13 2010

Great performance by the Pacific Symphony. Their concerts in Orange County's answer to the Bowl are well worth attending. Too bad it was the last one until next summer. They are an under-appreciated treasure.Written on Sep 13 2010

The Symphony offers a popular Pops season led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman. The Pops series stars some of the world's leading entertainers, and is enhanced by state-of-the-art video and sound. Each Pacific Symphony season also includes Café Ludwig, a three-concert chamber music series, and "Classical Connections," an orchestral series on Sunday afternoons offering rich explorations of selected works led by St.Clair. Assistant Conductor Maxim Eshkenazy brings a passionate commitment to building the next generation of audience and performer through his leadership of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra as well as the highly regarded Family Musical Mornings series.
The Symphony offers moving musical experiences with repertoire ranging from the great orchestral masterworks to music from today's most prominent composers, highlighted by the annual American Composers Festival. The Wall Street Journal said, "Carl St.Clair, the Pacific Symphony's dynamic music director, has devoted 19 years to building not only the orchestra's skills but also the audience's trust and musical sophistication so successfully that they can now present some of the most innovative programming in American classical music to its fast-growing, rapidly diversifying community."
In addition to its winter home, the Symphony presents a summer outdoor series at Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, the organization's summer residence since 1987.
