At the Salk Institute, our team of world-class, award-winning scientists boldly pursue the secrets of life, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and discovery in the areas of neuroscience, cancer research, healthy aging, immunobiology, plant biology, computational biology, and more.
By establishing a partnership with Salk, you can help us support this mission. With this in mind, we are extending a special invitation for you to join us at the 29th annual Symphony at Salk on August 16, 2025.
Symphony at Salk is not just an event, it’s a celebration—a concert under the stars—that brings together the top area leaders in science, philanthropy, government, media, and industry for an exclusive evening of celebration, connection, and camaraderie. Guests will enjoy a champagne reception, a gourmet dinner in Salk’s iconic courtyard amidst Louis Kahn’s masterwork of modern architecture, and the incredible sounds of the San Diego Symphony and a special guest artist. Past artists have included such stars as Jennifer Hudson, Josh Groban, Idina Menzel, and Liza Minnelli.
Champagne reception 5:45 p.m.
Gourmet dinner 6:30 p.m.
Concert under the stars 8:00 p.m.
