The San Luis Obispo Symphony celebrates Hollywood’s most iconic soundtracks during its annual “Pops by the Sea” concert August 30 at the Avila Beach Golf Resort.
This family-friendly outdoor concert will feature fan favorites from movie, television, and video games, from the sweeping grandeur of Ben Hur to the swashbuckling excitement of Pirates of the Caribbean. Enjoy music from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Casablanca, and the James Bond films.
In a twist from the past, instead of a live baton auction with the highest bidder conducting a piece during the concert, the Symphony is currently seeking nominations from the community for a young person age 13 to 23 who deserves the honor of directing the orchestra.
Reserved seating for “Hollywood Hits” is available for tables of 10 and individual seats at tables, and general admissions tickets are available for lawn seating. New for 2025 is table seating on the clubhouse balcony.
