JACOBS MUSIC CENTER

Building A Sound Tomorrow

“To have the opportunity to improve the beautiful hall we call home, and to improve the musical communication on stage with the musicians, and to create a more intimate connection with our audiences, is a fantastic dream.”

- Rafael Payare, Music Director San Diego Symphony

Under the leadership of Music Director Rafael Payare and Chief Executive Officer Martha Gilmer, the San Diego Symphony is undergoing a $125 million renovation of its indoor home to be completed in the fall of 2023. The renovation of The Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center will complement The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park™ and provide San Diego with two extraordinary venues both designed to celebrate music and community.

PLAY A PART IN BUILDING THE SYMPHONY’S FUTURE

We are transforming the orchestra’s indoor home which will provide expanded programming and inspiring experiences for the community for years to come. For information on how you can support this campaign, email us at Campaign@SanDiegoSymphony.org.
