In partnership with loc al chamber musicians\, we're presenting six weeks of free\, family-friendl y summer evening programming. \n\nThursdays\, 6 - 7 pm\n\nJuly 2: Sun God\ , Series kickoff with Westwind Brass\n\nAs America marks its 250th birthda y\, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches\, beloved folk and hymn tunes\, jazz standards\, Broadway showstoppers\, and Hollywood film s cores\, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Su n God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets\, French horn\ , trombone\, and tuba — sweeps across the American story\, from the conc ert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound a nd the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listen to Westwind Brass \n\nLocation: Sun God in Google Maps \n\nParking: Scholars Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \n\nJuly 9: La Jolla Project\, L eft Coast Quintet\n\nAs dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jo lla Project\, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outd oor artwork\, known as “Stonehenge\,” for an evening that spans centur ies in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute\, oboe\, clarinet \, French horn\, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembl es: five distinct voices\, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind qu intet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces\, contemporary di scoveries\, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth\, humor\, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley\, and always ready to let the au dience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art\, landscape\, and music f old into one another. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listen to Left Co ast Quintet on their website \n\nLocation: La Jolla Project in Google Maps \n\nParking: Theater District Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \ n\nJuly 16: Bear\, Westwind Virtuosi \n\nWestwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard\, centered on T im Hawkinson's massive granite boulder\, Bear\, also known as "Beryl." Som ething happens when strings play beside that stone: the granite seems to l ean in and listen\, holding the sound warm and close. This chamber ensembl e — violin\, viola\, cello\, and bass — draws on the heart of the stri ng repertoire\, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics\, favoring lyr ical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth \, the violin’s singing upper register\, the feel of private conversatio n between musicians. Expect folk songs\, tango\, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listed to Westwind Virtuosi on their website \n\nLocation: Bea r in Google Maps \n\nParking: Gilman Parking Structure in Google Maps \n\n \n\n \n\nJuly 23: Sun God\, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass\n\nWe ’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour\, strings\, brass\, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda co me together for a brand-new program of salsa\, rhythm\, and pure Latin joy . Sábor means flavor\, and this concert has it in abundance. Cepeda — o ne of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ense mble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa\, cumbia\, bolero\ , and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba\, Colombia\, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings\, unusual in a La tin dance band\, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras. The Sun God lawn's open footprint gives the music room to move. \n\nCheck out the ban d in advance: Listen to Manny Cepeda on his website \n\nLocation: Sun God in Google Maps \n\nParking: Scholars Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \n\nJuly 30: La Jolla Project\, Hornswoggle\n\nThirty French horns ga ther at dusk at the La Jolla Project— and the results are elemental. Hor nswoggle is one of the few ensembles in the country performing at this sca le\, and the French horn genuinely sounds better outdoors than in any hall . Thirty players spread across the grounds\, dispersing the sound so it su rrounds you rather than faces you — hunting calls and fanfares dating to the 17th and 18th centuries\, hymn-like chorales and folk songs that bloo m across horns in unison\, and contemporary works written for the spatial possibilities of many horns in open air. Against the backdrop of La Jolla Project\, it becomes a glorious\, soaring wall of brass rolling into the s ky. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listen to Hornswoggle on their webs ite \n\nLocation: La Jolla Project in Google Maps\n\nParking: Theater Dist rict Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \n\nAugust 6: Bear\, Chambe r Orchestra\n\nThe Second Summer with Stuart ends the only way it could — with everyone on stage\, Handel in the air\, and Bear hearing Water Mu sic for the very first time. Handel wrote Water Music in 1717 to be played outdoors\, from a barge on the River Thames for King George I — one of the earliest masterpieces written for the open air. Three hundred years la ter\, the combined forces of our summer series bring it back where it belo ngs: beside Tim Hawkinson’s granite boulder Bear\, under a summer sky. R oughly twenty musicians — strings\, brass\, and winds drawn from every e nsemble of the season\, many of them former San Diego Chamber Orchestra pl ayers — gather for the full sweep of Handel’s suites: stately overture s\, graceful minuets\, and spirited hornpipes. \n\nLocation: Bear in Googl e Maps \n\nParking: Gilman Parking Structure in Google Maps \n\n \n\nSumme r with Stuart Concert Series Sharable Flyer for Printing (Google Doc)\n\n \n\nStuart Collection: \n\nThe Stuart Collection at the University of Cali fornia\, San Diego – comprised of 22 permanent artworks by world-renowne d artists\, and growing – aims to question conventional understandings o f public art in playful and insightful ways through our commissioning prog rams\, and seeks to enrich the cultural\, intellectual\, and scholarly lif e of the UC San Diego campus and local San Diego community.

This chamber ensembl e — violin\, viola\, cello\, and bass — draws on the heart of the stri ng repertoire\, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics\, favoring lyr ical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth \, the violin’s singing upper register\, the feel of private conversatio n between musicians. Expect folk songs\, tango\, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listed to Westwind Virtuosi on their website \n\nLocation: Bea r in Google Maps \n\nParking: Gilman Parking Structure in Google Maps \n\n \n\n \n\nJuly 23: Sun God\, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass\n\nWe ’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour\, strings\, brass\, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda co me together for a brand-new program of salsa\, rhythm\, and pure Latin joy .

Cepeda — o ne of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ense mble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa\, cumbia\, bolero\ , and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba\, Colombia\, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings\, unusual in a La tin dance band\, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras.

In partnership with loc al chamber musicians\, we're presenting six weeks of free\, family-friendl y summer evening programming. \n\nThursdays\, 6 - 7 pm\n\nJuly 2: Sun God\ , Series kickoff with Westwind Brass\n\nAs America marks its 250th birthda y\, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches\, beloved folk and hymn tunes\, jazz standards\, Broadway showstoppers\, and Hollywood film s cores\, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Su n God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets\, French horn\ , trombone\, and tuba — sweeps across the American story\, from the conc ert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound a nd the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listen to Westwind Brass \n\nLocation: Sun God in Google Maps \n\nParking: Scholars Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \n\nJuly 9: La Jolla Project\, L eft Coast Quintet\n\nAs dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jo lla Project\, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outd oor artwork\, known as “Stonehenge\,” for an evening that spans centur ies in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute\, oboe\, clarinet \, French horn\, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembl es: five distinct voices\, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind qu intet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces\, contemporary di scoveries\, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth\, humor\, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley\, and always ready to let the au dience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art\, landscape\, and music f old into one another. \n\nCheck out the band in advance: Listen to Left Co ast Quintet on their website \n\nLocation: La Jolla Project in Google Maps \n\nParking: Theater District Parking Structure in Google Maps\n\n \n\n \ n\nJuly 16: Bear\, Westwind Virtuosi \n\nWestwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard\, centered on T im Hawkinson's massive granite boulder\, Bear\, also known as "Beryl."
