Music inspired by American folk tunes, from the Civil War songs in Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” to the uplifting spirituals of Dvorák’s “New World” Symphony, to the updated interpretation of American melodies found in John Williams’ “Liberty Fanfare.” Accompanying Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” a multimedia presentation featuring visuals and a live reading of the Gettysburg Address and other documents. Also on the program, Barber’s “Adagio for Strings,” sometimes called the most beautiful 11 minutes of music ever written.

The Pops series stars some of the world's leading entertainers, and is enhanced by state-of-the-art video and sound.

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."
