EXCITING MUSIC AND ART NEWS!!!

In honor of Conductor Carl St. Clair's 20th Anniversary

with the Pacific Symphony Orchestra

a special dinner and concert was held in his honor

 on May 18, 2010.

The two paintings shown above were

donated to the Pacific Symphony

by National Award Winning Artist

September McGee and gifted to

Honorary Chairman, William Gillespie

and Conductor Carl St. Clair to honor both

 men for their amazing contributions

to the Pacific Symphony Orchestra.

William Gillespie, Honorary Chairman 

received the painting "Conductor Carl St. Clair"

and the painting "Violinists #1" was

gifted to Maestro Carl St. Clair.

John Forsyte, President of the Pacific Symphony

presented the two paintings to Bill and Carl

at a special dinner held at

Mastros Restaurant prior to the concert.

Following dinner the guests walked to the 

Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall

where they were treated to a spectacular,

 and exciting evening of music including: Joshua Bell, violin, 

Christopheren Nomura, Baritone, Benjamin Pasternack, piano,

the Pacific Chorale and more.

Conductor Carl St. Clair gave the performance of a lifetime

as the concert hall was filled with magic and music, from Mozart, Mahler, 

Mendelssohn, Ticheli, Bernstein and Beethoven.

It was truly a sensational night captivated with music and memories!!!!!

To complete these two paintings and donate

 them to the Pacific Symphony was such an honor.

The combination of art and music is a blessing

of creativity!

Music plays an important role in all my creations and I

am simply in awe of the musicians and equally as grateful to all

at the Pacific Symphony Orchestra who worked

diligently to present such a fabulous evening!!!

Grazie Mille to all at the Pacific Symphony Orchestra!
