TARGET® SYMPHONY IN THE CITIES

It's the perfect way to end a lazy summer day: Pacific Symphony's Target Symphony in the Cities free concerts, in three Orange County communities!

For seven years in a row, Target has been the title sponsor for this popular event, which attracts thousands of people each summer, many of whom arrive with picnics and lawn chairs and make it a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable summer experience.

Featuring high-quality family entertainment in the great outdoors, the Symphony was joined in 2011 by the Southern California Childrens' Chorus and Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra Cellist George Ma.

As always, a "Musical Playground," with many interactive and hands-on activities for children, begins at 5:30 p.m. in all three cities, and includes making an instrument, playing a drum, meeting a musician and a conducting clinic with Maestro St.Clair.

"We remain grateful to Target for their continued support, sincere interest in our community and for helping make these concerts such a huge success each year," says Symphony President John Forsyte. "Thanks to Target, we are able to offer high-quality music in beautiful outdoor settings to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to hear these very talented musicians. We are also grateful to the cities for their financial support and for all the work they put into making each concert a memorable experience."

Minneapolis-based Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) serves guests at 1,750 stores in 49 states nationwide and at Target.com. In addition, the company operates a credit card segment that offers branded proprietary credit card products.
