WHO WE ARE

Located at the 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. Our mission is to enhance San Diego's cultural vitality by presenting & producing a dynamic range of performing arts.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER STATEMENT

By exemplifying broad representation throughout the institution, it is our goal to dissipate traditional lines of separation, enabling audiences, artists, staff, donors, and students to connect with those who are different from themselves. We believe that through that connection—both on stage and off—we can enrich all our lives, broaden our experience, open our minds, and achieve La Jolla Music Society’s mission. We seek to create a working environment where everyone knows they are welcome and valued regardless of who they are or how they identify; where difference is encouraged; and where those differences help us learn from one another.
