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.

Week 1, Day 1

 Everyone arrived on campus safely and we had a great time learning each others' names. Following a delicious lunch in the cafeteria, we got to find out which Arts Workshops everyone had been assigned to. We are really looking forward to tonight's excursion to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater to see the Pacific Symphony! We got to have lunch with Pacific Symphony cellist Ian McKinnell and are psyched to see him onstage tonight with the 5 Browns. Check out this article in today's L.A. Times about this amazing quintet!
