Jacobs Music Center is a performing arts theater in San Diego, California. It opened in 1929 as Fox Theatre, a Gothic Revival–style luxury theater. It was conferred to the San Diego Symphony in 1984. The center is also the location of various youth orchestra concerts, including the San Diego Youth Symphony's, and a conservatory.
History
Downtown's Symphony Towers (the second tallest building in San Diego County) was built around the center in 1989. The center features an enormous pipe organ that is built into five walled chambers and was recently restored to its original splendor. It has a seating capacity of 2,248. When it opened in 1929, it had a seating capacity of 2,876.[1] The center was designed by Weeks and Day.
In early 2022, the San Diego Symphony announced that Copley Symphony Hall at Jacobs Music Center would be renovated for acoustic improvements and a major stage remodel including a choral terrace. A year later in early 2023, it was announced that the San Diego Symphony would be returning to the center in a November 4 grand reopening concert.[2]
On September 28, 2024, the San Diego Symphony celebrated the grand reopening of the newly renovated Jacobs Music Center.
The extensive renovation, which spanned three years and cost $125 million has breathed new life into this historic concert hall.
