Opening in the summer of 2021, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is an architectural wonder on the edge of San Diego Bay and the heart of downtown. Years in the making, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is the soaring culmination of a long-time civic desire to have a state of the art concert venue that elevates the experience of live music while also serving as a public center for all of San Diego. Like well-known national venues such as Wolf Trap, Tanglewood and Ravinia, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park will provide a sparkling summer home for the Symphony.
Venue Programming: Led by our new Music Director Rafael Payare, the Orchestra will bring to audiences both the most beloved works of classical music as well as the brilliant new composers of our time.
