Discover the Magic of Sea Coast Symphony
Step into the world of music, art, and culture with Sea Coast Symphony. We support art in all forms for Dana Point, California and the surrounding communities. Join us for an enchanting musical and visual experience that will leave you mesmerized.
Sea Coast Symphony, originally the Dana Point Symphony, grew out of then-Mayor Scott Schoeffel’s vision of integrating and elevating music, art, and culture in Dana Point. In collaboration with Music and Artistic director Dean Anderson and others, the Symphony began in 2012. In 2023, the Symphony changed its name to reflect its expanded outreach, while maintaining its base in Dana Point, a California coastal city.
