Opening Night

Many companies have a matching gift program; you give an amount, they donate the same. All you have to do is ask. These donations support classical music, music education and other community programs that impact thousands of people throughout your Orange County community. Here's how you can double or triple your impact in your your community:

​​​​​​​Every Opening Night Celebration begins with a cocktail reception that not only provides libations and hors d’oeuvres, but also the opportunity to reunite with other Symphony lovers after a summer away from the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

After the cocktail reception, guests are led to a gourmet dinner with performances by Pacific Symphony musicians. Guests are then welcomed to the concert hall to experience the first performance of the Classical Season.

​​​​​​​At intermission, all Opening Night participants are welcomed to the Box Circle Club—a premier club for the Symphony’s top members. During the intermission reception, guests are treated with exquisite small plates and libations. After the concert, guests return to the Box Circle Club for light fare, dessert, and conversations with musicians, guest artists and Maestro Carl St.Clair.
