Monday (8/31) on the Los Angeles Times blog Culture Monster, David Ng reports, “The Pacific Symphony in Orange County is offering half-price single tickets to season concerts in a special deal through its website—but the promotion is only good through the end of today. All tickets for the 2009-10 season—which kicks off in September with a series of concerts featuring violinist Midori—are discounted at half off their original prices. The deal doesn’t apply to the May 18, 2010, gala concert with violinist Joshua Bell. In addition to classical concerts, the deal applies to pop events, such as the series of concerts with Patti LuPone in October and Pink Martini in April. Also included are the family series of concerts geared toward children. … The Pacific Symphony’s 2009-10 season also features appearances by violinist Leila Josefowicz, pianist André Watts, and pianist Markus Groh.”
