On September 29, the San Diego Symphony will celebrate the grand reopening of the Jacobs Music Center with a singular event titled, A Day of Music. The event, scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m., will serve as a free open house for the community to experience the newly renovated venue. Attendees can look forward to a day of live performances from various musical groups across San Diego, food options, and the chance to explore the updated Jacobs Music Center.
The Jacobs Music Center, formerly known as the Fox Theater, has undergone a three-year renovation. The updates aim to transform the nearly 100-year-old theater into a modern concert hall. The opening festivities will begin with a civic dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 27, followed by an opening concert on September 28. The latter will include music by Rossini, Paganini, Rachmaninoff. A Day of Music will mark the final event of this opening weekend and is significant as it represents the first public, free event at the venue since the pandemic closures in 2020. It will include 25 groups like the Suzuki School of Music, the Baja California orchestra, Mariachi Garibaldi from Southwestern College.
Martha Gilmer, CEO of the San Diego Symphony, reflected, “When the Fox Theater, now known as Jacobs Music Center, opened in 1929, it was envisioned as a venue for the future. As we re-open Jacobs Music Center we too look to the future.”
Laura Reynolds, vice president of impact and innovation for the San Diego Symphony: “It’s important that we celebrate the re-opening of Jacobs Music Center with the stories and voices of our vibrant region...we hope to instill a sense of wonder, joy, and belonging that sets the stage for the next 100 years of music-making in San Diego.”
Following the reopening celebrations, the San Diego Symphony will embark on its inaugural season in the renovated Jacobs Music Center.
The new season will feature 20 ambitious programs under the Jacobs Masterworks series, which will include new compositions and classic favorites. Additionally, the Symphony will resume its Jazz @ The Jacobs and Family Concert series and introduce three new series: the Friday Matinee Jacobs Masterworks series, Currents, and Symphony Kids.
While this is a free event, tickets will be required and will probably disappear quickly. Visit www.sandiegosymphony.org to register for tickets and for more information.
