Special Events

Jacobs Music Center

Please join La Jolla Music Society for an enchanting evening at our WinterFest Gala “Fantasy Under the Sea.” Immerse yourself in a magical underwater fantasy world filled with delightful culinary experiences atop Symphony Towers at the University Club. You will enjoy an unforgettable performance featuring London Symphony Orchestra and international superstar Yunchan Lim, who will be making his San Diego debut.

This gala promises to be a highlight of the season, offering guests an opportunity to enjoy a night of elegance and fun while supporting La Jolla Music Society’s Learning and Engagement programs, which reach 11,000 school children and adults in multiple locations throughout San Diego County every year.

We encourage you to support our programs with our sponsorship opportunities below. Sponsors and those making charitable donations of $2,500 per person or $5,000 or more per household will also be invited to a private Sponsor Party next Spring.

We hope you will join us for an evening that combines exquisite music, fine dining, and a commitment to enriching our community through the arts.

With sincere thanks,

Susan Hoehn,

WinterFest Gala Chair
