The Aquarium of the Pacific invites you to join us for a special evening of pops music and a picnic dinner to celebrate the ocean with the Musique Sur La Mer string orchestra under the direction of Marcy Sudock.

Among the pieces performed will be Pacific Visions, an original composition for a string orchestra commissioned by Dennis and Suzanne Poulsen to celebrate the Aquarium’s expansion of the same name.
