With art, as with most civilized commerce, it’s the product that matters, not the source. Happy audiences take for granted the structure supporting their treasures, any conscious gratitude blurred by bliss.

Anniversary seasons become appropriate occasions to recognize the vision, dedication and tenacity that brought about such abundant bounty. La Jolla Music Society (LJMS), now ending its fourth decade, is a widely-respected constant in the universe of art music not only for the quality of its program, but also because it has proven so able to fulfill so well any role required by its community. Concert music by the world’s leading artists is a given amenity in the city, thanks to the Society’s patrons, supporters and operatives.

La Jolla Music Society is proud to announce that the first radio program from SummerFest 2008 was broadcast this weekend around the country.  The programs, sponsored by Sempra Energy and produced by WFMT, Chicago's premier classical radio station, are hosted by Dick Enberg, famed NFL commentator and La Jolla resident. 

The first program in the series featured extraordinary performances from "Opening Night: Fire and Passion" and "An Evening with Vladimir Feltsman." Check back frequently as the programs are updated weekly.
