Inside and Out: Plazacast & Community Festival
FREE community event, presented in association with Segerstrom Center for the Arts
Pacific Symphony presents its fifth Plazacast and Community Festival, a free party on the Arts Plaza at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, with food trucks and performances by community ensembles, followed by a live simulcast of the evening’s performance in the concert hall—Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 featuring André Watts and Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique—projected onto the wall of the plaza.
All Community Festival activities are inspired by the themes and motifs in Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, a musical marvel filled with vivid descriptions of dreams, passion and fantasy. To learn more about this masterpiece, check out San Francisco Symphony’s Keeping Score.
Bring your own chair, blanket and picnic with friends on the plaza while enjoying the music—no ticket required! The first 100 people to arrive receive a free pair of tickets to select concerts at Pacific Symphony’s Summer Festival 2016.
