Past, present, and future share the stage in one jubilant night.
Music Director Inon Barnatan joins festival favorite Jeremy Denk in a virtuosic opener, former Music Director Cho-Liang Lin returns for legendary composer John Williams’s Quartet La Jolla—written for SummerFest—and a world premiere commission looks ahead, before the piece that closed the very first SummerFest concert brings the celebration home.
The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center
The Baker-Baum Concert Hall is an intimate performance space with superb acoustics ideally suited for chamber music and classical recitals. In addition, its design incorporates state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics, making it a world class space for amplified concerts, film, dance, theatre, lectures, and more. A wooden grillage frames the elegant curvature to the seating area creating a shape reminiscent of a European opera house. Outside this framework, lighting washes the walls in color to create a sense of space beyond.
