The purpose of the event is to promote an understanding of all sciences to Moorpark College students and faculty, as well as students from area high schools, and the general public, said Scott Kemp, MESA publicity director. According to MESA's Randy Bailey, California Lutheran University faculty members are currently negotiating with Moorpark College organizers about consulting on an event at their campus. Concert Diva Acoustical Shell Installation Just Completed The audience at the Spring Orchestra Concert, March 21, will be the first ever to enjoy the dramatically improved acoustics of the Performing Arts Center's Main Stage Theater. The beautiful and lightweight wood and aluminum system was manufactured by Wenger Corporation of Owatonna, Minnesota. The shell consists of a back wall, ceiling and side panels which completely enclose the orchestra, delivering the full energy of the performance into the audience, without sound being lost into the fly loft, curtains or stage wings.
Conductors receive an accurate acoustic representation of the entire ensemble.
Communication between performers is instant and complete. When superior acoustics are not required, as for dance or speaking engagements, the shell can be disassembled and stored in minutes. The ceiling panels are rigged to be stored in the PAC's three story fly system. Custer teaches instrumental music at Moorpark College and is a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
