Pacific Symphony Orchestra

Such a wonderful night outside listening to the beautiful music of the Pacific Symphony! As the symphony played the different songs from each branch of the military and the veterans stood up, I got goose bumps! The Michael Jackson piece was amazing as well! And then to top it off, the amazing fireworks with the patriotic music was awesome!

Hi-My sister and I enjoyed the show but we were disappointed in the amount of Chicago music we heard. I would have liked the concert to have been mostly Chicago with a little bit of pomp and circumstance at the end with the fireworks

The evening was a breathtaking. The Pacific Symphony was flawless. Brass Transit sounds were so much like Chicago, I closed my eyes and relived the best of Chicago. It brought me back. The fireworks display with the symphony background was like no other fireworks display. Fantastic :)

fell in love with saxophone. Awesome album to play to.

The music of Pink Floyd came to life with the Pacific Symphony! It sent chills down my spine every time the orchestra started to play and had the crescendo of the songs spot on. The conductor was animated and lively making it an awesome show.

Pacific Symphony's 40th Anniversary of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was an amazing experience!!!

Only thing is that parking was a nightmare! They should include the parking fee into the ticket fee so that cars can just drive in.

The Marine Color Guards presented the Americam flags while the orchestra played. The Pacific Symphony played an appropriate mix of Patriotic music and and Movie themes. R2D2 even provided some entertainment for the kids. The second half was an Eagles tribute band with the full orchestra backing. It was a beautiful and rich mix which rivaled the Eagles. The singing and guitars were spot on and very energetic and authentic. The orchestra added tremendous depth into the songs. The fireworks display was fantastic with the orchestra playing. It was a fun evening and I'd recommend it to everyone next year (which might be the last for this venue). It was also nice to be allowed to bring in our own food and drinks (wine included). The Pacific Symphony puts on a great show.

good music but the lawn seating is a hike and a pain and leaves ones huffing and puffing just to get to the very top. Not a great venue... No water or food stands open. And the bathroom is at the bottom of the hike.

This was our 2nd time going to the amphitheatre and we thoroughly enjoyed the concert. The sound was great and the fireworks afterwards were the perfect way to cap off the evening!

poor sound and performance!!!! I was expecting more.

Great violinist and pianist along with the 1812 Overture.

Great Concert, both Sheena Easton and Scott Coulter were amazing. I still sing Separate Lives each day. I thought the song selection was excellent! The only exception would have been to hear Scott sing "Thunderball" and/or "From Russia With Love". Also, Shirley Bassey sang the song Moonraker, which I really like, it would have been nice to hear Sheena sing that. But, overall, fun concert, would like to see again..

This was a great time had by my entire family. I am sad to say it will be the last 4th of July because they are closing the Irvine Meadows to build more homes. The fire works were great and the Michael Jackson tribute got everyone moving. The symphony is superb. We all really enjoyed the patriotic music. GO USA!

only complaint is the distance it takes from the gate to the seats at the venue.

Getting there was exciting the event started late and once it began the music was pleasant . After 2 hours and an intermission it dragged out way to long . I missed the firework show that was after 11 pm , when the event was to start at 8 pm . For a celebration I was there to enjoy the evening and why we all where attending . This will be an area I plan to avoid in the future . It took people over 1 hour to just get out of the parking lot. Happy freedom day .

I have very much enjoyed with Kenny P performance , music and capturing audiences attention with his heart warm music sure my hat tip off for the pacific symphony orchestra

This was a great show! Kenny was amazing! Surpassed all my expectations

I loved having the orchestra in perfect sync with scenes from the movie Fantasia being displayed on the screen. The director was really good and the show didn't even need a host since the director did that work too. It was entertaining and very well sinchronized.

We loved the show and had a great evening. Will be back

Could not think of a better way to spend the 4th of July than with the Pacific Symphony and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The symphony was amazing and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were spectacular. Patrotism flowed and the performers were world class.

Overall experience was really good. We got to see lots of other areas' fireworks in the night sky from way up on the lawn. I would have like to have seen some vendors/concessions open - but I guess I know what to expect next time. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was good as always. And - a special guest was the great great grandson of Francis Scott Key - on the 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner.

Lawn seats. Picnic with the family. Great music. Patriotic, to go with the holiday. And, we could see fireworks shows throughout South Orange County. Just a fun, celebratory night.

Overall great time! In my opinion, the band, at times, played over and much loader than the symphony. I actually went to hear the symphony play Pink Floyd's music. The band was good; however, I wish the symphony would have had more solo time.

Great idea to combine the symphonics of Pink Floyd with the Pacific Symphony. The Orchestra appeared unusually happy about this experience as well.

We had a great time. Everyone played and sang great. We really enjoyed the orchestra as well.. A really good time. There were some well deserved standing ovations...

it doesn't get any better. i love when the symphony does "out of the box" stuff like this! last summer's sound track to "the black pearl" was awesome too. the opening act, young pianist from england, was pretty fantastic as well, & you don't usually come for the opening act! i'd come see her again. the tribute band couldn't have been more right on & the symphony added that extra layer that makes this music great. moody blues next summer???

We loved every minute but thought the critic from the OCRegister didn't give enough credit to the outstanding singer of all the songs. We didn't get his name? He was wonderful! We equally enjoyed the mystical solo sung by Mary towards the end. Everything was beautifully presented.

It was a different take on Pink Floyd with the instruments involved. My husband loves Pink Floyd and he'll go to anything with the music. I actually enjoyed this too.

Great performance by the band and the Pacific Symphony. Maybe would've liked to hear more of the symphony but still good.

The orchestra could have been more prominent otherwise the performance of the Dark Side of the Moon was well done by the band. The extra songs before and after the Dark Side was performed were well received. With so many Pink Floyd songs to chose from just wished for more. The sound was good but could have been louder.

This concert was amazing. The tribute band was near perfect in recreating the sound of Pink Floyd. The Pacific Symphony really broadened the amazing sound with their addition of strings and acoustic instruments to compliment the electric and synthetic sounds played by the band. A real treat!

The lead singer wasn't good at all He had a good voice, but he couldn't even hit the high notes And specially, he was 't energetic at alllllll. He was just standing and singing. But the guitarist was great

What a great evening of memories it was, dampened only by the lead singer who didn't even know the words to the music! All other players were spot on and with the background of the symphony during Dark Side of the Moon, the experience met an eclectic desire for great music. The surprise "warm up" pianist was exquisite, bringing the early audience into the moment for both time with the rock band and the symphony. Having found her on Facebook, she was genuinely moved by the audience's appreciation. Great Find!!! I'd love to see/hear more of her. The Pacific Symphony continues to amaze with their flexibility, their ability to bring classical instruments into today to expand the repertoire of all ages.

brought back lots of memories, music was awesome. The symphony and the band produced a great combination

The Pacific Symphony was awesome but the Pink Floyd cover band was incredibly weak. The lead singer was horrible. When he wasn't singing it was great But as soon as he started singing he ruined it! It would've been 10 times better if it was only the Pacific Symphony!

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with The Pacific Symphony was Amazing!!! Personally, I have just seen the last two WALL performances and Forgot How Great Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was. What a Great Album What Great Songs!!! And with The Pacific Symphony it was Great!! A Special Thanks to The Pacific Symphony for Blending with Rock-N-Roll to show us all Another Side of the Symphony Orchestra.

The Pink Floyd Tribute band and the Pacific symphony were just unbelievable. Best concert I have been to all summer, and I have been to 4 others at the Amphitheater. Good Job.

Show was excellent. The tribute band musicians were 'spot on'! Also, the female pianist to open the show was great. Oh yes, and the Pacific Symphony was great too!
