La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest returns to The Conrad, expanded to four glorious weeks! Music Director Inon Barnatan has created an ambitious program, evocatively titled “Under the Influence,” exploring the muses that seduced and inspired some of the greatest composers in musical history. During the Festival, we’ll hear the magnetic effect of Wagner and J.S. Bach on their peers, travel to the salons of Paris, and experience the sins and merry pranks of Kurt Weill and Strauss. We’ll spend a genre-defying and unique week with opera stars, dancers, and jazz luminaries, and go further under the influence in a new intermission-free Wednesday series that welcomes audiences into the worlds of Shakespeare, Vivaldi, and more followed by a social and culinary experience in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd. Garrick Ohlsson, Augustin Hadelich, Liza Ferschtman, Marc-André Hamelin, Caroline Shaw, Carter Brey, Joyce Yang, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Cécile McLorin Salvant, the Dover and Miró Quartets, and many more astounding artists will join us in La Jolla for a Festival you won’t want to miss! The "Under the Influence" Music Festival will run from Friday, July 29 through Friday, August 26 at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. View all SumerFest 2022 lineup here!

If you think Korean barbecue is strictly restaurant fare, thing again. Guest chef Grace Park, founder of Crazy Korean Cooking, is here to prove that Korean barbecue isn’t just possible at home—it’s dead simple and truly fun. Grace will teach you her two favorite proteins for Korean barbecue: galbi (beef short ribs) and spicy pork belly. You’ll learn why marinades are the humble heroes of Korean barbecue. These bold combinations of garlic, soy, sugar, rice wine and fermented chili paste impart big flavor to meat—especially because you’ll let your meat marinate for two full days. We’ll walk through the science of long marination and you’ll learn why you should never ever skip the step of patting your meat dry before grilling. Whether you grill your meat on a traditional tabletop setup or at the stove, you’ll get Grace’s pro tips on picking the right pan, keeping your meat from sticking and judging doneness with perfect accuracy. With the meats cooked and ready to go, we’ll move on to the rest of the classic Korean barbecue spread. You’ll see how easy it is to mix up a batch of ssamjang, a Korean dipping sauce that’s deeply savory and nicely spicy. Grace will walk you through the history and flavor profiles of doenjang (soybean paste) and gochujang (fermented hot pepper paste), which are two ingredients you’ll never want to be without again. And then we’ll put it all together. A crunchy lettuce leaf, a smear of ssamjang, a mound of pork belly or short ribs, and a bit of grilled kimchi: it just may be the perfect bite.

If you’ve ever admired a slice of elegant marbled rye bread, it’s high time you learned how to make it yourself. This isn’t a bread reserved for pros, and there are no fancy tricks or special tools required—it’s all about good bread-baking technique and a little patience. Join guest chef Tara Jensen, author of the new book “Flour Power,” for a livestream class where you’ll crack the code on a rye bread loaf that marbles together a light and a dark dough for truly stunning results. First, Tara will walk you through the creation, care and keeping of your very own sourdough starter. Then, you’ll learn how to use your starter to make a malted molasses dough and a perfectly sour white rye. By layering these two doughs together before the second rise, you’ll avoid the dreaded separation of the layers. And forget kneading: Tara’s technique is all about folding, which means less work for you and a lighter crumb for your dough. You’ll learn all about baker’s percentages (no need for alarm—they’re actually extremely simple once you get the hang of them). You’ll get Tara’s recommendations on storing and sourcing rye flour and may even get her tips on sneaking flavorful rye into other favorite baked goods. We’ll cover the difference between blackstrap, light and dark molasses and you’ll come away confident in choosing the right variety for every occasion. And you’ll appreciate why temperature is everything if you want consistent baking results; Tara will convince you to put an instant-read thermometer to great use to ensure ideal rising every time.
