The La Jolla Music Society will host a special two-day Community Arts Open House on March 7-8. It’s the perfect opportunity to check out this wonderful new jewel in the city’s arts crown, for free. March 8 will be devoted to tours of the venue, but March 7 will be a true music lover’s delight with a wonderful mix of talent.
Amongst the performers on the day will be the La Jolla High School Chamber Ensembles; the Mission Bay High School Mambo Orchestra under the direction of JP Balmat; singer-songwriter Joanna Gerolaga; blues singer/2019 San Diego Music Awards Artist of the Year, Whitney Shay; and jazz guitarist/2015 SDMA Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Peter Sprague. With music and dance across five stages, this is a wonderful celebration of the arts as well as a weekend of family fun that can’t be beat.
Community Arts Open House: Saturday, March 7-8 at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, 7600 Fay Ave. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All ages. Free. www.ljms.org
