This spring Dana Point Coastal Arts (DPCA) and the City of Dana Point are bringing world class classical music to Dana Point.
Dana Point Coastal Arts Concert Series is a classical music series featuring solo performers and chamber orchestras, aimed at cultivating new generations of appreciative listeners and making live classical music available to Dana Point.
This season is expanded with not one, but two symphony concerts. DPCA is also committed to promoting arts education and the SOCSA Choir and soloists will be joining the series in Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy. Acclaimed and beautiful soprano Victoria Robertson will be presenting Opera and Broadway favourites, and the Alcantara Trio will be performing Astor Piazzolla’s tangos. Back by popular demand, Mira Khomik, violin and Laszlo Mezo, cello, will be joining the Montage Civic Orchestra and Dean Anderson, conductor.
In addition to the fabulous music, there will be one featured visual artist exhibiting their work at each concert.
