Formed in the year 1979, the music director of the Pacific Symphony Orchestra is Carl St. Clair. The symphony orchestra was formed by Keith Clark who was an assistant and student of the famous Roger Wagner. Clark’s passion to form his very own symphony orchestra strengthened as he studied under the popular choral musician and educator at the LA Master Chorale. Clark started the orchestra with a mere two thousand dollar grant and some minor contacts. At the time of the formation of the orchestra, Clark usually gathered his performers by making calls to local musicians who were concert masters part of the LA Philharmonic orchestra, Cleveland orchestra and the Detroit orchestra. Upon the formation of the orchestra, Clark named himself the first ever musical director and called aboard Robert Peterson to take the post of personnel manager.

The debut performance by the orchestra took place in the same year as its incorporation. The performance was held at the Plummer Auditorium situated in the city of Fullerton in the state of California. In the year 1981, the Pacific Symphony Orchestra was moved to the Good Time Theatre situated in the Knott Berry Farm, located too in the state of California.
