Dear friends,

We are delighted to invite you to La Jolla Music Society’s Summerfest Gala, which promises to be an unforgettable evening where music, community, and purpose unite in perfect harmony.

At the exquisite Jacobs Residence, we will admire the colors of a Pacific sunset as we enjoy an elegant Champagne and caviar reception. After a musical interlude, masterfully curated by SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan, we will move on to a gourmet dinner with a special selection of wines on the pool patio. Decadent dessert stations and lively dancing will round out the night.

While everyone loves a good party, this night is also about supporting the La Jolla Music Society’s Learning and Engagement programs, which touch nearly 11,000 school children and adults each year. Like seeds that scatter to spread beauty and color, the Learning and Engagement programs provide the building blocks that create future musicians and educated audiences. Together, we build the foundation for artistic growth and vibrant community connections.

In this booklet, you will find a list of support opportunities. From underwriting a portion of the gala’s expenses (which then directs more money to our programs) to directly sponsoring an artistic and educational program component, we are sure that you will find something that resonates with you.

Charitable donations of $2,500 per person or $5,000 (or more) per household also include an exclusive invitation to our Sponsor Party—a special gathering to celebrate your generosity.

We look forward to sharing this magical evening as we join forces to build a musical future.

Warmest regards,

Stacy and Don Rosenberg
