Questions
Who will be providing the musical entertainment?
The concert under the stars will feature a thrilling private performance by a special guest artist and the talented San Diego Symphony. Past artists have included such stars as Jennifer Hudson, Josh Groban, Idina Menzel, and Liza Minnelli. It’s sure to be a spectacular night of music.
Will a meal be provided?
Yes, following a champagne reception, attendees will be served a gourmet dinner and wine while the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean and basks the courtyard in a warm glow.
What is the attire for the event?
Summer cocktail attire is suggested. Dinner and the concert will take place outdoors and coastal evenings can become cool, so we recommend bringing a jacket or wrap. There are no heaters in the Main Courtyard.
What if the event gets cancelled?
In the unlikely event Symphony at Salk is canceled due to inclement weather, all contributions will be considered nonrefundable donations to help to advance the critical scientific research at Salk.
Can I use my Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to pay for my Symphony at Salk sponsorship or ticket?
