Pacific Symphony Class Act Family Night

When

3/6/2017, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Greetings on behalf of Red Hill Lutheran School. As the RHLS Principal, I am writing to personally invite you, along with your family and friends to join me at the upcoming Pacific Symphony – Class Act string quintet concert on Monday, March 6th from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in our church sanctuary.



Founded in 1994, the Frieda Belinfante Class Act Partnership is Pacific Symphony’s flagship youth education program. Individual Symphony musicians are placed in year-long residencies at up to 32 K-8 partner schools throughout Orange County. These talented Teaching Artists work with over 18,000 students each year, sharing the life and music of a Composer of the Year through standards-based music curriculum. Class Act serves as an entry point to other Symphony activities for students, parents, and teachers, encouraging participants to further explore their interest in music with Pacific Symphony.



Pacific Symphony is the largest U.S. symphony orchestra to be formed in the last 40 years and the third largest in California. Pacific Symphony is the resident orchestra of Orange County, making its home at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. The orchestra’s core purpose is to enrich the human spirit through superior performances of symphonic music and community engagement.



Class Act schools are selected through a competitive application process. Each year students form a relationship with a new Class Act teaching artist (a Pacific Symphony musician) through activities including classroom lessons, ensemble performances, assemblies, and concerts. Class Act celebrates its 22nd season in 2016-2017, with the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the theme, “Magical Journeys!”



The concert will featuring music by Mozart and other musical masters, performed by a string quintet from Orange County’s Pacific Symphony. The string quintet will be led by Mr. Doug Basye, Assistant Principal Bass with the Pacific Symphony , our schools assigned musician as part of the Frieda Belinfante Class Act Program.
