Let’s combine some of our favorite things: lively conversation, fascinating ideas and extraordinary music. On six evenings, we’ll prepare a lively menu of musical encounters featuring interviews, solo performances and selected pre-recorded works from the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus archives. Join us from your living room, or maybe from the kitchen as you prepare a meal and enjoy a glass of wine, or listen as you walk on the beach or on the trails. We will meet you where you are with our reliable mixture of adventurous and classic music-making along with warm conversations.
