LAST NIGHT MORE THAN 10,500 PEOPLE GOT A “PEACEFUL, EASY FEELING” AS PACIFIC SYMPHONY KICKED OFF ITS 25TH ANNUAL SUMMER FESTIVAL WITH A “JULY 4 SPECTACULAR—MUSIC OF THE EAGLES,” FEATURING TRIBUTE BAND “WINDBORNE”

Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman also led the orchestra in an 80th birthday tribute to iconic film composer John Williams and the audience voted by text for the encore. Plus, the holiday celebration featured a traditional salute to the U.S. armed forces (military gets in FREE all season!) and the night culminated in a dazzling display of fireworks!
