In Tuesday’s (10/22) Los Angeles Times, Sarah Mosqueda writes, “When Pacific Symphony music director Carl St.Clair first came to Orange County there was no Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa. In fact, in 1990 the classical music scene in Orange County was quite small. However, its size was not indicative of its ambition…. ‘What has been accomplished here has been nothing less than miraculous,’ St.Clair said … ‘But it’s not because of me, it is because of this community. The dedication of our board members and our subscribers and people …, all realizing the importance of classical music in your life.’… Under St.Clair’s direction, Pacific Symphony has become highly regarded among the classical music community, with the conductor responsible for creative endeavors.” The article features a conversation between St.Clair and KUSC radio host Rich Capparela in which St.Clair took questions from the audience.
