Season Of Celebrations For Jung-Ho Pak And San Diego Chamber Orchestra
The San Diego Chamber Orchestra, under the leadership of Artistic Director, Jung-Ho Pak, is capitalizing on its highly successful 2007-08 season by announcing its 25th season with one of the most exciting line-up of concerts ever.
Celebrating its twenty-five years of stability, and focusing on a bright future, the Orchestra's new vision of providing "the next generation of the classical music experience" through innovative programming, beautiful music and a total high-quality customer experience that begins with the purchase of a ticket and lasts through the last note of a concert will be expanded even more during this season of celebrations.
By almost any measurement, Maestro Pak's second season as the Artistic Director for the San Diego Chamber Orchestra was a stunning success. Concertgoers were wildly enthusiastic, the musicians were excited as reflected by their obvious connection to the guests during performances and while mingling with guests before and after the concerts (a first in the San Diego area), and ticket sales and revenue were stronger than ever, with most concerts sold out. Adding to the excitement building around the Orchestra, major ground-breaking education programs, involving thousands of students and teachers throughout the county, will be kicked off this fall.
The Classics Series concerts are performed in three venues: St. Paul's Cathedral, Downtown; Sherwood Auditorium, La Jolla; and Del Mar Country Club, Rancho Santa Fe. Pops Concerts at the Center will be performed at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and Masterpiece Messiah will be performed in two local churches and at the CCAE.
The Classics Series concert, The Mozarts: All in the Family, will open the season at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday, October 3, at 7:30 p.m. This concert, to be billed as a "biotech night" will offer repertoire from three generations of Mozarts and, as concertgoers have come to expect from Maestro Pak, will feature some surprises.
