Located at the brand new Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, La Jolla Music Society is one of the most prestigious and highly-respected multi-disciplinary presenting organizations in the United States. A leading contributor to San Diego’s cultural vitality since its founding nearly forty years ago, LJMS’ October-to-May presenting season offers a rich variety of artistic experiences: internationally-renowned orchestras on tour in the United States; chamber music performances ranging from solo piano recitals to string quartets and early music specialists; a wide-ranging jazz series; and dance performances in ballet, modern and post-modern idioms. LJMS' signature event each year is the nationally-acclaimed SummerFest; a three-week music festival of performances, live broadcasts, open rehearsals, educational encounters, pre-concert talks, and social events. All of LJMS’ activities support extensive education and outreach programs.
LJMS brings into local communities world-class classical music, modern dance, jazz and ballet in eight different venues throughout the county. These performances are of artists who regularly appear at Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall in London, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, and indeed on the great stages of the world. Simply put LJMS’ motto is “We Bring the World to San Diego” …and LJMS brings the best the world has to offer.
