Welcome to La Jolla Music Society’s 54 th Winter Season

Hi All,

The 2022–23 season is a watershed moment at La Jolla Music Society. For the first time since its opening in April 2019, The Conrad is experiencing a full year of robust programming and activities, and we couldn’t be happier with public response. Concert after concert is attracting new audiences and longtime friends, helping us work toward our goal of serving an ever-increasing portion of the San Diego community.

As background, consider this: Prior to building of The Conrad, our season included 30 Winter Season concerts and 15 SummerFest performances. This year we will produce, present, or host more than 200 concerts, lectures, and private events, including our own Winter Season, SummerFest, and a myriad of community partner events. These include the San Diego Film Festival opening weekend, Feeding San Diego, TEDx, The Bishop’s School’s prom, La Jolla High School’s homecoming, and concerts presented by Camarada, the San Diego Symphony, San Diego Ballet, and many others.

We believe that The Conrad can be a major community resource, not just for La Jolla but for all of San Diego, as we work to serve the audiences in our halls, students in our learning programs, the artists on our stages, and the art form itself. In order to deepen and expand our programs, your support is more critical than ever before. That support can come through regular attendance at concerts, joining our annual giving program, attending a fundraising event, and/or making a gift in your estate to support La Jolla Music Society and The Conrad.

In the coming months, we will share more about how we can reach our goals of serving our community together.

Warmly,

Todd Schultz President & CEO

La Jolla Music Society / The Conrad

Our Mission: The mission of La Jolla Music Society is to enhance cultural life and engagement by presenting and producing a wide range of programming of the highest artistic quality, and to make The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center a vibrant and inclusive hub.
