The La Jolla Symphony is the orchestral component of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C), an ensemble affiliated with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Comprised of volunteer musicians including UCSD students, staff and faculty as well as professional musicians, the LJS&C presents a six-weekend subscription season of affordable concerts at UCSD's Mandeville Hall of ground-breaking, traditional and contemporary classical music. In 2007 the ensemble named Steven Schick as music director and conductor. A renowned contemporary percussionist and UCSD Distinguished Professor of Music, Mr. Schick shares the LJS&C concert season with Choral Director David Chase, who has led the chorus for over thirty years.
