The series opens on Sunday, September 17, with the violin and piano duo of Regina Carter and Xavier Davis, who last performed on the Athenaeum series in 2005. Hailed as the foremost jazz violinist of her generation, Regina Carter’s quest for beauty combined with her passion for excellence did not escape the attention of the MacArthur Foundation, which awarded her a prestigious “genius grant” fellowship. She is also a recipient of a Doris Duke Artist Award, has been named an NEA Jazz Master, and is a three-time Pulitzer Prize jurist. She tours worldwide with her own group and has appeared with such performers as Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Barron, Ray Brown, Mary J. Blige, Chucho Valdés, Billy Joel, Dolly Parton, and Omara Portuondo.
Part of the Athenaeum's Jazz at Scripps Research series.

The Auditorium at TSRI
The beautiful and acoustically renowned auditorium nestled in the heart of the Torrey Pines Mesa on the La Jolla campus of Scripps Research offers performing arts and educational organizations a premier venue for their events. Award-winning architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, who also laid out the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, designed the building. The interior was engineered by Cyril Harris, an acoustics expert and consultant to elite halls across the country, including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Today, our plush 350-seat auditorium invites audiences to enjoy riveting presentations of all kinds. With an expansive outdoor plaza for post-event mingling, and ample free parking, the Scripps Research Auditorium provides an ideal venue for San Diego-area events.
