“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
– Philippians 4:13

Now in its 56th year, La Jolla Music Society’s mission is to enhance cultural life and engagement by presenting and producing a wide range of programming of the highest artistic quality, and to make The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center a vibrant and inclusive hub. La Jolla Music Society owns and operates The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, opened in 2019, which includes the 481 seat Baker-Baum Concert Hall and the smaller cabaret-style space, The JAI. Every detail was considered to ensure that The Baker-Baum Concert Hall provided a top experience for both the artists and the audience. Susan Hoehn is a Board Member and the WinterFest Gala chair.
