Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common

The 2025-2026 season marks the 70th Anniversary of this signature program, which is one of the longest running concert series in San Diego. This season’s schedule will feature local musicians as well as touring ensembles. Highlights of the Winter/Spring Series include the Concert Series debut of violinist Kenneth Liao with pianist Igor Pandurski, as well as the return of favorites from previous seasons, the Cracow Duo in March and violinist Annelle Gregory in May. This season’s theme is Duos of Distinction – many performances will highlight the skillful collaboration of two musicians as they share dynamic and expressive repertoire from the Classical period to the 21st Century.

You will find the 2026 Winter/Spring schedule below.
