• ACCESS for 10,665 residents through free concert tickets and vouchers and bus transportation to the Concert Hall.

• MUSIC & WELLNESS programs for 931 individuals through musical concerts and activities.
Heartstrings Access partnered with 34 local non-profit organizations to provide free tickets and bus transportation to concerts. Agency partners included the Academy of Music for the Blind, Alzheimer’s Orange County, Arts & Learning Conservatory, Asian American Senior Citizens Service Center, Lestonnac Free Clinic, Long Beach VA Medical Center, OC Rescue Mission, Second Harvest Food Bank, Special Olympics Southern California, and Vet Tix.
“STUDYING
WITH MY PACIFIC SYMPHONY COACH HAS GIVEN ME A NEW PERSPECTIVE TO THE MUSIC WE ARE STUDYING. IT MAKES ME WANT TO CONTINUE MUSIC IN HIGH SCHOOL AND TO POSSIBLY PURSUE A PATHWAY TO A CAREER IN MUSIC. THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS WHEN MANY DO NOT, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY!” — HEARTSTRINGS EIGHTH GRADER AT ORANGEVIEW JUNIOR HIGH
Heartstrings Instrumental Music programs included musical instrument instruction, coaching and mentoring at six sites in Orange County through three discrete programs:
Savanna School District: Now in its third year of partnership, Savanna Strings continues to rebuild a free, afterschool music program at four elementary schools in Anaheim for grade 4–6 students. This season expanded to include viola and cello (as well as violin), allowing each school to have its own string orchestra. Enrollment reached a program record of 160 students this season.
Orangeview Junior High School: The 2024–25 season marked an exciting new partnership with this middle school in the Anaheim Union School District for 33 motivated students lacking access to private instruction. Youth musicians received weekly small-group coaching from Symphony musicians on violin, cello, trumpet and trombone during school hours. Coaching focused on building technical abilities to prepare them for high school music programs.
Santa Ana High School: Pacific Symphony has partnered with Santa Ana High for four years to offer intensive private lessons from Symphony musicians (in fact the Santa Ana Strings program started here in 2012). A total of 19 string, wind and brass students participated during school hours. For the first time, an application and audition process was required for admission to more effectively identify students who are pursuing music after graduation. There were 30 applications received, with 63% accepted into this unequaled program.

Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute
Pacific Symphony was awarded a grant this year from the Samueli Foundation to conduct research in partnership with the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute. The project aims to explore the impact of live chamber and orchestral music performances on patient well-being within clinical and concert hall settings, building a strong foundation for future integrative health practices. The results and impact from this pilot study are currently being evaluated and will help guide future studies both inside and outside of the concert hall.
Studies last season included 34 patients who attended May 2025 concerts at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and impact of a live, in-person classical music concert in two groups:
a) participants who attended and listened to music as usual; labeled “listening group;” and b) participants who were given instructions to mindfully listen to the music; labeled “mindful listening group.” Participants were asked to complete pre-concert and postconcert surveys asking them to rate the intensity of their pain, anxiety, stress, perceived stress, and quality of life.
Patient participants reported immediate improvements in stress, anxiety, and pain in postconcert surveys compared to pre-concert scores. One week later, participants also reported a significant improvement in depression symptoms. Audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing feelings of relaxation, calm, joy, and comfort. These results suggest that even a single live orchestral experience may offer meaningful short-term relief for stress-related symptoms.
Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles
Serving 320 student participants, and more than 10,000 audience members, PACIFIC SYMPHONY YOUTH ENSEMBLES (PSYE) is comprised of four performing ensembles. Out of more than 650 talented sixth through twelfth graders who auditioned to participate last year, 320 were selected to join the pre-professional musical training program. The season featured clinics with Music Director Carl St.Clair, regular coaching sessions with Symphony musicians, interactions with world-renowned guest artists, and 10 PSYE performances in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. All four of the ensembles’ final May concerts were warmly dedicated to Elizabeth Stahr, longtime PSYE benefactor and PSYE Lifetime Board Director who recently passed away.
Special thanks to PSYE Music Directors Dr. Jacob Sustaita leading the Youth Orchestra (who enjoyed his final season this year), Dr. Gregory Whitmore of the Youth Wind Ensemble, Dr. Johanna GamboaKroesen of Santiago Strings and Angela Woo of the Youth Concert Band

Spotlight on Phil and Mary Lyons
Mary and Phil Lyons are among Orange County’s most generous and committed supporters of the performing arts. The Lyons are members of Pacific Symphony’s Crystal Society, whose honorees have accumulated an excess of $1 million in gifts over time. Both have been honored by Arts Orange County and the Association of Fundraising Professionals for Outstanding Philanthropists. Phil has been a member of the Pacific Symphony Board for more than 25 years, has served on its Executive Committee, and chaired its Investment Committee. He and Mary helped champion the construction of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Their first gift to the orchestra was in February 1990 and they have ceaselessly given to Pacific Symphony since then and continue to do so. More recently, Mary and Phil have pledged a significant gift to the Symphony’s endowment and created a $10 million challenge grant matching all contributions dollar-for-dollar, to the endowment through June 30, 2027.
As committed, generous and enthusiastic Orange County arts supporters, Mary and Phil Lyons have provided significant financial support, extraordinary leadership, and countless volunteer hours to many local arts programs. Moreover, they are actively involved in all of the organizations they support.
