For the music, the memories, and all the moments that bring us together.

The newly renovated Jacobs Music Center and The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park are more than world-class music and performance venues. They are the homes of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and gathering places where music connects us, memories are made, and our community comes together.

Made possible in part by the generosity of supporters who believe in the power of music, these extraordinary spaces welcome audiences to experience the artistry of our musicians and the joy of live performance.

Through two special opportunities, you can leave a lasting mark on a place you love while celebrating the music, people, and moments that make the Symphony part of San Diego’s story.
