Step inside the music with violinist Augustin Hadelich! 🎻🎶

As he returns to San Diego this November, Hadelich shares why Sibelius’ Violin Concerto has remained one of his lifelong touchstones — a work he describes as “exciting, passionate, and epic in scale,” filled with “jagged cliffs, misty woods, and fiery virtuosity.”

We’re delighted to share that Rafael Payare has extended his tenure as Music and Artistic Director of the San Diego Symphony through the 2028–29 season, marking 10 years of visionary leadership.

Since joining us in 2019, Rafael’s artistry and passion have transformed the orchestra’s sound, expanded our repertoire, and deepened our connection with audiences. From the acclaimed Rady Shell at Jacobs Park to the restored Jacobs Music Center, this era has been one of growth, creativity, and community.

We look forward to the next chapter—performances, collaborations, and artistic milestones that continue to inspire.
