The Future is Hear
We are excited to launch THE FUTURE IS HEAR, a $125 Million campaign supporting the San Diego Symphony and its many wide-ranging artistic and community programs. With our mission to change lives through music and our steadfast belief that music belongs to all of us, we are committed to continually engaging, supporting and learning from our diverse community, with the goal of enhancing our programs and our facilities for all of San Diego to enjoy. This campaign provides the financial foundation for a bright future for our Symphony by investing in our art, our home, our city and our audiences.
Copley Symphony Hall
at Jacobs Music Center
One of the most beautiful and architecturally relevant theaters in San Diego, Copley Symphony Hall is ready to take its place as a performance home that will match the orchestra in its level of brilliance. Copley Symphony Hall at the Jacobs Music Center opened in 1929 as the Fox Theatre, and is one of the few remaining Fox Movie Theatres in the United States that still retains its original décor and design. THE FUTURE IS HEAR campaign supports facility infrastructure improvements of Copley Symphony Hall at Jacobs Music Center.
PROGRAMMING
Our musicians are our greatest asset. By investing in them, the San Diego Symphony will continue to attract the very finest musicians and deliver unsurpassed concert experiences. Under Rafael Payare’s leadership, the San Diego Symphony will be an ambassador of our city, reaching new and broader audiences through expanded performances. Rafael will elevate the Symphony to new levels of artistic excellence and cultural relevance, firmly establishing the institution as a critical orchestra in the ranks of leading orchestras across the United States. The San Diego Symphony presents music of the highest quality for everyone and gives back to our city through life-changing Community and Learning programs. We want to ensure these programs shape lives for generations to come. To achieve that goal, the Symphony must have a strong financial foundation that enables long-term stability, fosters innovation and encourages growth. THE FUTURE IS HEAR campaign ensures the future of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and its world class musicians by serving all of San Diego’s diverse communities with transformative musical experiences.
