Mezzo Wheeler Cancels Pacific Symphony Date

Mezzo-soprano Kimball Wheeler will not appear on the Fourth of July “All-American Celebration,” the opening event in the Pacific Symphony’s summer series, as a result of medical advice to cut back on her schedule, a spokesman for the orchestra has told The Times.

Scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m., the program for the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre concert remains largely as originally announced. It will include Bernstein’s “Candide” Overture, Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” with pianist Patricia Prattis Jennings as soloist, and music by Richard Rodgers and Aaron Copland.
