Music
Join the Museum for a variety of musical performances, from classical music in the galleries to weekly jazz performances at Panama 66.
Art of Elan
The Art of Elan concert series aims to bring the excitement of classical music to diverse audiences through innovative, one-hour programming in unique performance venues. The partnership with The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park has brought a distinctive visual and musical experience to the Museum galleries.
Season 16, titled Landscapes, reflects on the ever-shifting nature of the earth and the world around us, while also exploring the cultural landscapes that shape our lives. With a renewed commitment to thoughtful, relevant programming and intentional community relationships, this 16th season reminds us of the power of creative expression to be an agent of change. Art of Elan has been pioneering unique events and bringing exciting classical music to diverse audiences for 15 years through innovative partnerships and bi-national initiatives that have cultivated curious audiences on both sides of the border.
The 2022-2023 season boasts a full season of concert offerings, beginning with a live, in-person, in-gallery performance in November 2022. In 2023, two additional live, full-length concerts will also be presented inside the Museum.
