South Coast Symphony

South Coast Symphony’s 70 accomplished musicians explore classical masterpieces, operatic gems, Broadway favorites, and pops selections with artistry and enthusiasm. During the "Young Stars of the Future" concert, the regional orchestra becomes a backing band for three up-and-coming performers who have won a countywide talent competition and spelling bee featuring the word contrabassoon. The spotlight will also shine upon Krysta Rodriguez, a recent winner of the bout who has appeared in Broadway runs of A Chorus Line and Spring Awakening and the TV show Gossip Girl. Groupon holders can relax in a choice of plush seats at the 1,000-person concert hall, which proffers prime and choice viewing thrones near center stage. Each seat comes with an excellent sightlines and enough legroom for a family of octopi.
