Each summer, the Salk Institute’s iconic courtyard becomes the setting for an experience unlike any other. On August 15, 2026, we will celebrate the 30th Annual Symphony at Salk, an extraordinary milestone anniversary where world-class music will meet world-changing science. Symphony at Salk is a celebration of the shared spirit that drives both science and music: imagination, discipline, and the pursuit of something greater than ourselves.

Your support enables Salk scientists to pursue foundational science that fuels future solutions for cancer, Alzheimer’s, wellness, agriculture, and other global challenges.

Individual ticket sales will open to the public on May 1, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PT. For early access to ticket sales, please join Salk’s Discovery Society. Save the date, as last year’s event sold out!
