La Jolla Music Society - The Conrad
La Jolla Music Society owns and operates The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, opened in 2019, which includes the 481-seat Baker-Baum Concert Hall and the smaller cabaret-style space The JAI. The Conrad was designed by Epstein Joslin Architects, Inc. and San Diego firm JWDA. The Conrad’s acoustics were directed by Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics, whose long list of credits include Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, Hamburg’s Elbephilharmonie and Paris’ Philharmonie de Paris. Every detail was considered to ensure that The Baker-Baum Concert Hall provided a top experience for both the artists and the audience. Called “a lovely jewel box” by Wynton Marsalis and “one of the most beautiful halls we have played” by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra Quartet, The Baker-Baum Concert Hall has become known for its flawless acoustic and warm, lovely wood grid inner construction.
