Lunar New Year Celebration

Pacific Symphony’s Lunar New Year Celebration and Concert was founded by longtime supporters Charlie and Ling Zhang. The event’s intent is to honor Orange County’s Asian American Community’s steadfast support of Pacific Symphony and other artistic organizations. This unique celebration accompanies a beautiful concert that features Pacific Symphony with both local and international acts from Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese cultures.

This evening’s gourmet dinner has taken place in venues such as Leatherby’s Café Rouge, South Coast Plaza, and even the Box Circle Lobby of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall before bringing guests into the concert hall. Each year, Pacific Symphony’s Lunar New Year celebrates the Chinese zodiac for that year and the generous founders and Event Chairs, Charlie and Ling, gift each guest with a beautiful, custom crystal sculpture made by LIULI. This event often features a small, expertly curated silent auction.

Past entertainment for this event includes jinghu player Shunxiang Zhang, the Yaya Dance Academy, longtime artistic partner Pacific Chorale and the American Feel Young Chorus.
