Music was the great joy in Shields’ life, and she strove to share that joy with the world, and specifically with the residents of Laguna Beach, her adopted home. “I continued to work with Doris on the concerts until 1999, when she passed the baton to me,” Poeschl said. Poeschl worked with Shields on the concert series until she retired from the Arts Commission in 1995. “Anyone who worked on Music in the Park did it because of Doris.” “She was so, so gracious and had a wealth of information and talent,” said Sian Poeschl, city arts manager. Laguna Beach has lost one of its treasures, a revered contributor to the arts.ĭoris Shields, founder of the Music in the Park concert series and a longtime member of the Arts Commission, died Sunday.
