The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

Excursion Spotlight: Cirque de la Symphonie

Kicking off the summer with a bang, participants in week 1 will attend a jaw-dropping fusion of two art forms: aerial fliers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers and strongmen will perform their cirque acts  — all accompanied by a live symphony orchestra performing classical masterpieces.

The artists of Cirque del la Symphonie include world-record holders and gold-medal winners of international competitions, and rank among the most exceptional cirque artists in the world. Pacific Symphony's popular and charismatic assistant conductor leads this feast for the eyes and ears!
