The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…
The San Diego Symphony's Summer Pops season at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park brings world-class orchestral music to the San Diego waterfront for a series of outdoor concerts running June through September 2026. The Rady Shell — an acoustically engineered open-air performance venue on the waterfront at Jacobs Park — provides a stunning setting for the Symphony's summer season with San Diego Bay visible beyond the audience.
The Summer Pops programming spans the full range from classical masterworks to pops concerts featuring Broadway music, film scores, jazz, and popular artists performing with orchestral accompaniment. The variety makes the summer season accessible to audiences who aren't regular classical concertgoers while delivering the full orchestral experience that the Symphony's musician quality supports.
The Rady Shell's outdoor format is distinctly family-friendly — picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and the relaxed atmosphere of the waterfront park contrast with the formality of indoor concert halls. The adjacent Jacobs Park lawn allows families to spread out while the children remain within range of the music. Food and wine are available from vendors on-site.
The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is located at 222 Park Blvd in downtown San Diego, walkable from the Embarcadero and accessible via MTS Trolley (Convention Center station). Parking in the downtown convention center structures. Individual concert tickets and season subscriptions available through the San Diego Symphony website.

300 E Ocean BL, Terrace Theater - …
Terrace Theater, 300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach Convention Center. June 6th. The Long Beach Symphony plays Magnificent Mozart & Mahler — a program anchored by two composers who could not be more different in temperament and could not be more fundamental to understanding what orchestral music can do when it's built correctly.
Mozart is economy. Every note is placed because it belongs, and removing any one of them would change the architecture of the whole. Mahler is excess, is weight, is the feeling of being caught inside something too large for any one emotion to hold. A program that puts them on the same night has a point of view about what a symphony season should argue. The Terrace Theater is a serious performing arts venue with the acoustics to hold that argument.
Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 6th in Long Beach. This is the kind of night that works for people who have never been to a symphony and want to understand what the fuss is about, and it works equally for people who have been going for decades. The program earns both audiences. Show up and let the room tell you what it knows.
Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs on July 4, 2026: the kind of performance that requires a room to work — staged for an audience that chose this over everything else available that night. Palm Springs Symphony 2025-2026 Season Tickets performs at Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs on July 4, 2026. What happens on stage exists only in the people who chose to be in that room — the recording, if there is one, will always be a translation.

Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N Highland Av…
The Zelda soundtrack is one of the most beloved in gaming because it was composed to matter. Koji Kondo and the composers who followed him wrote music that carries the emotional weight of every moment it accompanies. Symphony of the Goddesses brings it to the Hollywood Bowl on August 15, 2026 — decades of Hyrule performed by a full symphony orchestra under the summer sky. Tickets from $55.
Hearing it live changes the relationship you have to it permanently. People have described it as hearing a film score for a film they lived inside. Gerudo Valley. Song of Storms. The Main Theme. Reconstructed at full size rather than approximated in MIDI — the difference is the difference.
The Hollywood Bowl is the right venue. The outdoor amphitheater, the Los Angeles summer evening, an orchestra tuning up in that shell while the sky goes dark above the hills — the production design works before the first note lands. Come knowing the music or come not knowing it. Either way you leave knowing it differently.
