Saturday, November 21 at Jacobs Music Center.

5:00 PM

A great symphony orchestra is a powerful act of amplification. Individual musicians come together to create something greater than themselves—performances that move, inspire, and uplift audiences. AMPLIFY, the San Diego Symphony Gala, celebrates that same spirit, bringing together remarkable artists, visionary supporters, and a shared belief in the power of music to transform lives. As a sponsor of this year’s Gala, you become part of that amplification. Your generosity is the key to ensuring that our music, mission, and legacy continue to enrich our community and inspire generations to come.

Dress Code

Embrace an evening of bold elegance and timeless glamour. Rich jewel tones, luxurious textures, and a touch of timeless sophistication are encouraged. Dress in whatever makes you feel festive and ready for an unforgettable night.

Join us at Jacobs Music Center for AMPLIFY, the San Diego Symphony’s signature annual gala. This year, we honor Raffaella Belanich, whose generosity and vision helped make transformative Symphony projects possible, including The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park and the reimagined Jacobs Music Center. Enjoy cocktails and culinary experiences from Chef Richard Blais, followed by a one-night-only concert featuring internationally acclaimed singer Isabel Leonard and a special appearance by Jason Mraz, performing with the San Diego Symphony under the direction of Music and Artistic Director Rafael Payare. The celebration continues with dinner by Urban Kitchen Group, led by Tracy Borkum, and an after-party that carries the energy of the evening late into the night. Proceeds from AMPLIFY support the Symphony’s artistic, educational, and community programs—expanding access to music and amplifying its impact for generations to come.
