Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. 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.

OC Can You Play?

Pianos everywhere, for everyone!  Pacific Symphony announces OC Can You Play?--A public pianos project.  Twenty colorfully painted pianos will be located throughout Orange County including two painted by our very own counselor and staff alum Philip Womack.   

Year 1 counselor and Visual Art instructor Philip Womack
Philip's pianos will take up temporary residence at Main Beach in Laguna and Carousel Court at South Coast Plaza beginning January 16.  When the event ends, they will be put up for auction to benefit the Symphony's education programs, including AXP!  Got an urge to play?  Come to the launch party on Sunday, January 16 at 3 pm in the Jewel Court of South Coast Plaza.  Plus, you can get a head start on our Foursquare piano scavenger hunt.

You can find more info and an interactive map of all 20 pianos at www.pacificsymphony.org/OCCanUPlay.
