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: Target Symphony in the Cities


For many, it's a must-do summer tradition - a visit to the local park for a free outdoor concert by Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair!  Week 3 AXPers will travel to Mission Viejo for Target Symphony in the Cities.

For the fifth year in a row, Target returns as the title sponsor for the 2010 Target Symphony in the Cities concert series, a popular event throughout Orange County's many communities which attracts more than 10,000 people each summer.  Ninety minutes before the concert there are many interactive and hands-on activities at a "musical playground" for children, which includes a conducting clinic. Children who participate have the opportunity to assist Maestro St.Clair in conducting during a portion of the concert.

For more information about these free community concerts, check out www.pacificsymphony.org.
