Introduction to Class Act and Pacific Symphony Pacific Symphony’s elementary school partnership program, Class Act, will celebrate its nineteenth season in 2012-13 with the music of Camille Saint-Saëns through the theme of “Endless Imagination.” From serving 5,000 students in 1994, to 17,000 students in the current season, the program’s growth is the result of a partnership between the Symphony, schools, and parents dedicated to bringing quality music education to Orange County’s elementary students. Pacific Symphony’s core purpose is to enrich the human spirit through world-class symphonic music and community engagement. The Symphony maintains an ardent devotion to music education and works to foster deep connections with both its audience, and the community as a whole. Tying into these values, Class Act strives to enhance existing school music programs through additional musical experiences with the Symphony. The traditional Level II Class Act curriculum focuses on six main “contact points” with schools, while the new Level I and I plus curricula provide schools with four main “contact points”. Regardless of a school’s level of participation, the program works to increase awareness of, and involvement with, classical music for elementary school students and their families. Class Act schools are selected through a competitive application process. Each year students form a relationship with a Pacific Symphony musician through activities including classroom lessons and assemblies. This is followed by the opportunity for students to share their experience with their families at a special evening of chamber music. Level II students culminate their year at a Youth Concert at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, for students in grades 2 and higher, or with the Interactive Musical Experience for students in grades K-1. Parent and teacher volunteers form the backbone of each school’s Class Act Team. These individuals are dedicated to promoting arts education in schools, and have been actively involved in Class Act from the program’s inception. Teacher Workshops, given on-site at partner schools, foster high quality classroom instruction and offer curricular materials designed to enhance the objectives of the program. One of the Pacific Symphony’s primary goals is to lead the nation’s orchestras in energizing current, and engaging new, audiences by presenting innovative educational programs that lead to a deeper understanding and love of music. With this goal in mind, Class Act is looking towards an exciting future with the creation and implementation of new initiatives. 11
