“Midday Music” is a free, lunchtime concert series held in collaboration with the San Diego Public Library, taking place on select Fridays throughout the year in the Shiley Special Events Suite on the top floor of the Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common, where concertgoers are invited to bring their lunch and enjoy carefully curated chamber music along with gorgeous views of the city. This brand-new series and partnership is dedicated to the memory of James R. Dawe, a longtime arts advocate in San Diego and supporter of public libraries.
For this special inaugural concert, esteemed cellist Alex Greenbaum will perform music by J. S. Bach, Paul Brantley, and Tania Leon, among others.
FREE event, no RSVP is necessary
Two (2) hours free parking validation in the library’s underground parking lot
The program is made possible with financial support from the Library Foundation SD and its donors.
