So was the pandemic-fueled shutdown of live events across the country and around the world that arrived just 11 months later.<\/p>\n<p>But the now-59-year-old nonprofit has worked hard to make up for lost time and regain momentum. With a record 77 performances already confirmed, the society\u2019s upcoming 2026-27 season will be the most ambitious and extensive in the organization\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>It will also be one of the most star-studded, thanks to a lineup that features such classical music giants as violinists Itzhak Perlman and Hilary Hahn, pianists Yuja Wang and Emanuel Ax, and the Kronos Quartet, whose cellist, Paul Wiancko, is the composer-in-residence at the society\u2019s 40th annual SummerFest, which runs July 31 to Aug. 29.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"v6Blojv6Lh\">\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/03\/29\/making-history-in-multiple-ways-la-jolla-music-societys-summerfest-to-turn-40-with-a-bang\/\">\u2018Making History\u2019 in multiple ways: La Jolla Music Society\u2019s SummerFest to turn 40 with a bang<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other confirmed performers for the 2026-27 season range from Broadway superstar Audra McDonald and the Mark Morris Dance Group to the 45-year-old Japanese taiko drumming ensemble KODO and a joint performance by pianist Conrad Tao and the London-based Academy of St Martin in-the-Fields chamber orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be a three-concert series for kids, a four-part speaker series that includes conservation biologist Jodi Rowley and wildlife photographer Steve Winter, and a four-part dance series that will feature the San Diego debut of Italy\u2019s acclaimed NoGravity Theatre troupe.<\/p>\n<p>The season additionally boasts a notable number of jazz stars and their respective bands, including pianists Jason Moran, Fred Hersch and Hiromi, bassists Stanley Clarke and Linda May Han Oh, singer Kurt Elling, guitarist-singer John Pizarrelli and drummer Tyshawn Sorey, who is the 2024 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music.<\/p>\n<p>Also scheduled is a four-day \u201cjazz mini festival\u201d in May and a Feb. 26 concert by the Wynton Marsalis-led Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Marsalis\u2019 concert here is part of the famed trumpeter\u2019s farewell tour with his brassy ensemble, which he has led since its inception in 1987.<\/p>\n<h4>Pandemic rebound<\/h4>\n<p>Such a robust and diverse lineup is an understandable source of pride for La Jolla Music Society Artistic Director Leah Rosenthal and President and CEO Todd Schultz. This is especially true in a post-pandemic landscape that has seen attendance for some live events dramatically diminish, in some cases so much that a number of live arts organizations have yet to restore their full programming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing out of the pandemic, it took us three years to get back to our pre-quarantine (attendance) numbers,\u201d Schultz said.\u00a0 \u201cThis upcoming season will be the biggest we\u2019ve ever had. Our audience has grown along with our programming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal agreed, adding: \u201cThis is one of the strongest lineups of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists we\u2019ve ever assembled. At the same time, we are showcasing a lot of younger artists who are new to our series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These include the Rome-based NoGravity Theatre, whose performances utilize multiple mirrors on stage to create the illusion its dancers are defying gravity. Also making its La Jolla debut will be the Naghash Ensemble, which is based in the Armenian capital of Yerevan.<\/p>\n<p>The three-woman, four-man vocal and instrumental group will perform Nov. 22 in the society\u2019s Baker-Baum Concert Hall. Its songs are set to sacred texts by Mkrtich Nagash, a 15th century Armenian mystic poet and priest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Naghash Ensemble incorporates classical and folk traditions to create music that is sort of undefinable,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cOur seasons always stay true to the classical music that is the core of who we are as an arts-presenting organization. But it\u2019s so exciting and fun to also showcase these other genres, and to introduce our audience to performers we have not had here before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No fewer than 37 of the artists in the new season will be performing for the first time at The Conrad, as the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center is more commonly known.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of our brand and, I hope, our reputation is that not only do we present some of the greatest artists in the world, but we also identify the next generation of notable artists and I think we do both well,\u201d Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI praise Leah for scouting these artists out and being extremely judicious in her choices. She has a very high standard of quality, especially when it comes to selecting the young artists we present.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9361644\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"At the La Jolla Music Society in San Diego, CA, on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Todd Schultz, President &amp; CEO, La Jolla Music Society and Leah Rosenthal, Artistic Director, La Music Society.

(Nelvin C. Cepeda \/ The San Diego Union-Tribune)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>A winning team<\/h4>\n<p>The teaming of Rosenthal and Schultz has been a winning one for La Jolla Music Society, whose 49,000-square-foot performing arts center houses two venues. The largest, the 513-seat Baker-Baum Concert Hall, is just steps away from The JAI, the 144-seat cabaret theater that hosts many \u2014 but not all \u2014 of the center\u2019s jazz performances. In between the two is a courtyard where free outdoor performances are held and where audiences mingle before and after indoor concerts, as well as during intermissions.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal was named as the society\u2019s artistic director in April 2020, 12 years after she was hired and nine years after she became the organization\u2019s director of artistic planning and education. She is the first person to be named the society\u2019s artistic director who wasn\u2019t also concurrently serving as its president or CEO.<\/p>\n<p>A New Jersey native, Rosenthal grew up in Chicago. She has a bachelor\u2019s degree in voice performance and a master\u2019s in arts management. Before coming to La Jolla, she worked with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, PBS, the Chicago International Film Festival, the Ravinia Festival and the Chicago chapter of The Recording Academy, under whose auspices the Grammy Awards are presented.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Rosenthal became the society\u2019s director of programming. She was a steadying source of continuity for the nonprofit when it cycled through three CEOs between 2018 and early 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Schultz became president and CEO in late 2020 after being hired away from his position as senior vice president of development for the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert. He had previously been\u00a0the San Diego Symphony\u2019s vice president of institutional advancement from 2015 to 2019, the Old Globe\u2019s director of development from 2004 to 2015 and the San Diego Opera\u2019s director of marketing and public relations from 1994 to 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Together, he and Rosenthal were instrumental in guiding the society through the pandemic and establishing The Conrad as one of the premier performing arts centers in the state. Prior to its opening, the majority of the society\u2019s concerts were held in La Jolla at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\u2019s Sherwood Auditorium, which was demolished in 2019 to make way for expanded gallery space.<\/p>\n<p>The Conrad was designed and built at a cost of $82 million, all but $700,000 of which had been paid for before its doors even opened. Perhaps even more notable, The Conrad was underwritten entirely by private donors, without any public funding.<\/p>\n<p>But its success as a performing arts center is not something Schultz and Rosenthal are taking for granted, especially not when inflation and production expenses continue to climb at a time of global economic hurdles and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say that, 100 percent, we are keeping an eye on the economy,\u201d Schultz said. \u201cThat was an important consideration as we put the budget together for our new season, to make sure we weren\u2019t overextending ourselves at a time when challenging economic issues may be on the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9927429\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"The Japanese taiko drumming troupe KODO will perform as part of La Jolla Music Society&apos;s 2026-27 season.

(La Jolla Music Society)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Strategic planning<\/h4>\n<p>On June 30, the society\u2019s board of directors will be presented with a new five-year plan for The Conrad. It follows the five-year plan that Rosenthal and board member Debbie Fishburn put together in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was during the quarantine and Leah and Debbie really crafted the shape of this organization, because we had an entirely new business model with the opening of The Conrad,\u201d Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>The timing could not have been more daunting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything was just chaotic at that point,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cFor us to focus on the future of the organization and where we would be in five years \u2014 and not think about all the immediate noise with the state of the world at the time and the craziness of the pandemic \u2014 was a challenge. It was such a singular time for us to be starry-eyed and smart about our choices. But it galvanized our staff and board, and it forced us to keep our eye on the potential for our future success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of our work was focused on determining how we operate The Conrad, which was brand new, and how to make it a cultural hub by making intelligent choices, financially, and not doing anything if we didn\u2019t believe the funding was there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The expansion of programing has been steady with more dance, jazz, piano and global music offerings and the introduction of the ProtoStar Innovative Series, which focuses on boundary-pushing artists in different genres. The diversity of programming has helped the society to grow its core classical-music audience and attract new attendees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new five-year plan is about reaffirming that we are going in the right direction and identifying areas of potential growth where we can do new and different kinds of things,\u201d Schultz said. \u201cThe growth built into the plan is based on what we\u2019ve seen the public respond to in our programming. Our audience really trusts Leah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no significant shift from the last five years in our new plan,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cIt\u2019s designed to stay the course, but to also look at how we can do everything we\u2019ve done even more strongly in the future. We achieved a lot of our goals in our previous five-year plan and that sets us up for the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9927430\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Pianist Hiromi and bass legend Stanley Clarke will pay tribute to Clarke&apos;s late musical partner, Chick Corea, in La Jolla Music Society&apos;s 2026-27 season.

(Rick Swig)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>A jazz surge<\/h4>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest growth has been in jazz. Prior to the opening of The Conrad, the society presented no more than three jazz concerts per season. That number has grown exponentially in recent years and is set to grow again in the new season.<\/p>\n<p>It will open with two concerts at The JAI\u00a0 by the Fred Hersch Trio on Sept. 20, followed by two concerts the Linda May Han Oh Trio on Sept. 25. Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli will perform a pair of concerts on Oct. 24 and 25, both saluting the late Tony Bennett.<\/p>\n<p>December will offer concerts by the vintage jazz band The Hot Sardines and Colombian harp master Edmar Casta\u00f1eda and his quartet. The new year will see performances by 27-year-old pianist and drummer Julius Rodriguez, the Tyshawn Sorey Trio, Wynton Marsalis and singer Kurt Elling, with pianist Christian Sands. On March 6, bass great Stanley Clarke and Japanese pianist Hiromi will be joined by the PUBLIQuartet for a tribute to the music of the late Chick Corea, who was Clarke\u2019s longtime musical partner.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n<p>At this year\u2019s sold-out Miles Davis\/John Coltrane tribute concert on April 9 at downtown\u2019s Balboa Theater, Schultz announced that the society\u2019s jazz mini festival will become an annual event, after being held every other year since its debut in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup for the 2027 edition will include two performances by pianist Jason Moran. One, on May 6, is a tribute to Duke Ellington. The other, on May 8, is a tribute to James Reese Europe, a pivotal but undersung composer and band leader who preceded Ellington.<\/p>\n<p>The jazz mini festival will also feature an April 8 concert by Artemis, the all-woman band led by pianist Renee Rosnes, saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin and the Alonzo King LINES Ballet, whose performance will be set to the music of Alice Coltrane. This will be followed by a season-closing pair of shows by bassist Endea Owens and her band, The Cookout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen such an incredible turnout and reception for our jazz mini festival,\u201d Rosenthal said.\u00a0\u201cThe festival is a way to create a more in-depth experience for our audiences and to tell a story. It also includes artist discussions and free concerts in our courtyard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Might more mini festivals, featuring other styles of music, also be in store?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were looking at doing as many festivals as possible at one point,\u201d Rosenthal replied. \u201cBut we decided to focus on jazz because we\u2019re seeing such a high level of excitement and interest. We\u2019ve been presenting jazz for nearly 20 years, so while it may seem like we\u2019re leaning into jazz more, our commitment to the art form has been there for two decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the genre, having both the Baker-Baum Concert Hall and The Jai under one roof has given the society the opportunity to expand its programming in ways that were not previously possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore The Conrad opened, we could only do 20 to 25 concerts a year, total, at Sherwood Auditorium, Rosenthal recalled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that we\u2019re doing 75 to 80 concerts a year at The Conrad, we have a lot more options and flexibility. And if someone is really sensational, like (West African vocal powerhouse) Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo was in May, we can bring them back the next year. That wasn\u2019t the case when we were just doing 20 to 25 concerts at Sherwood and had to wait several years to bring artists back to perform for us again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn broad terms,\u201d Schultz said, \u201cwe have an event at The Conrad nearly every other day, so about 15 to 16 days each month. Most of those are public performances, some are private rentals and some are by our four resident arts companies \u2014 Art of Elan, Bach Collegium, Camarada and Mainly Mozart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tempting to add on more. But if we want to do well and do things most efficiently, we have to have some self-control. So, 15 to16 events per month is about what we can best handle. Our growth has been thoughtful and cautious. It\u2019s all based on how people respond.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>La Jolla Music Society Winter Season 2026\u201327 schedule and ticket information<\/h4>\n<p>Unless otherwise indicated below, all concerts are at The Baker-Baum Concert Hall in The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center at 7600 Fay Ave. in La Jolla.
