The Fourth of July wouldn't be complete without a fireworks celebration, and the Pacific Symphony has Orange County's most popular one. A perennial favorite with Goldstar members, the Pacific Symphony's annual concerts are a perfect way to celebrate our nation's birth while spending time with family and friends listening to audience-friendly music. Eagles tribute band Windborne will team up with the orchestra to provide stirring and soaring interpretations of hit songs like "Take it Easy" and "Hotel California." The program also features an 80th-birthday tribute to celebrated film composer John Williams, patriotic favorites and a salute to the U.S. armed forces. The evening will end in spectacular fashion with the fireworks finale. Learn More

An excellent concert. Too bad that this ensemble was in L.A. for only this one performance. Also, the seats were much better then promised. All in all a delightful evening of music making.Written on Mar 04 2011

I was concerned about seat location because Royce Hall is so large and the performing forces small. However, my seat worked out well enough even though it was on the left aisle.Written on Mar 07 2011
As to Anonymous' description of the Mozart Quintet as soporific, it's a quiet, smoothly flowing work. Also, micro details that might make the performance more lively are going to be inaudible because (1) even the closest seats are some distance from the performers and (2) the depth of the stage and the size of the hall soak up the sound rather quickly.

Great seats - exactly where we had hoped. The interpretation of Mozart's clarinet quintet was somewhat soporific. The Schubert octet, on the other hand, was passionate, outstanding.Written on Mar 05 2011

About the Ticket Supplier: UCLA Live
Active, intrepid and ever-evolving, UCLA Live is powered by the energy, attitude and imagination of today's most extraordinary artists.
Perched on the Western edge of North America in Los Angeles, a city where an exciting new modernity is being forged, UCLA Live is one of the most unique and significant presenters and producers of performing arts in the country. At the vanguard of dance, music, spoken word, and experimental theater, the program is unrivaled in its breadth and uncommon mix of genresâe"presenting a kaleidoscope of more than 200 performances each year to more than 150,000 audience members. UCLA Live's programs occur in a number of venues on UCLA's campus and beyond, including the historic Royce Hall, renowned for its acoustic excellence and tremendous sightlines.
Like the city that feeds it, UCLA Live promotes an aesthetic of fusion and diversityâe"in which concert hall divas, world-class chamber orchestras and hip-hop dancers share the seasonâe"and sometimes the stageâe"with post-modern dancers, world music superstars, contemporary storytellers, and rock 'n' roll mavericks. The local and the global, the ancient and the modern form symbiotic relationships, in which the inner-city infuses Western European traditions with modern soul; and the spirit of the avant-garde radiates from dark stages to the serpentine freeways, suburban byways, and breezy waters of the Pacific.
An incubator of new ideas, UCLA Live is dedicated to radical, genre-bending collaborations and the development of new work. At the crux of this mission is the annual Artist in Residence initiative, featuring internationally-acclaimed artists whose works are characterized by an unrelenting curiosity and dazzling originality. Inaugurated in 2001 by pop music icon Elvis Costello, followed by the virtuosic Kronos Quartet in the 2002-03 season, and the wildly eclectic producer Hal Willner in 2003-04, this yearlong program deepens UCLA Live's commitment to the creative process by nurturing the development of new works and collaborative endeavors.
A presenter of the same stature as Brooklyn Academy of Music and Lincoln Center, and the country's largest and most outstanding university-based performing arts presenter, UCLA Live has commissioned major works by Laurie Anderson, Pina Bausch, Philip Glass, Bill T. Jones, Kronos Quartet, Miami City Ballet, and Robert Wilson, among many others.
