Dean Anderson, Artistic Director
2020 - 2021 Season
Needless to say, the 2020-21 season was like no other and Symphony Irvine was not able to hold regular in-person performance because of the pandemic. However, the orchestra did prepare three recorded performances (including a successful fundraising gala) and live-streamed them online along with commentary from Artistic Director Dean Anderson and interviews with guest soloists. Finally, with the pandemic easing in late spring, Symphony Irvine performed before a live audience at its new home, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach.
