Season 20: Collective Wisdom

For the past two decades, Art of Elan has been at the forefront of pioneering unique events and building community through music. This year, we invite you to celebrate our landmark 20th anniversary season: Collective Wisdom.

Drawing from twenty years of creative partnerships, artistic evolution, and community engagement, Collective Wisdom honors the shared voices and diverse traditions that have shaped and continue to shape our sound. We celebrate the numerous individuals and institutions who have lifted us up for so many years, and we look forward to a future that continues to center our shared humanity.

Throughout 2026/2027, audiences can expect bold collaborations, immersive musical experiences, and programs that reflect the curiosity, connection, and creativity at the heart of Art of Elan. From the Anza-Borrego Desert to National City, Balboa Park and La Jolla, "collective wisdom" will be celebrated throughout the county.
