With the addition of their new award-winning, state-of-the-art home in Downtown La Jolla, The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, the La Jolla Music Society has expanded their season to include a great lineup of family concerts that you don’t want to miss.
This year’s offerings include Crescent City-inspired Jazzy Ash & The Leaping Lizards, LJMS’ Inaugural Education Ambassador Pablo Sáinz Villegas, and the delightfully bright bilingual songs of Sonia De Los Santos.
February 1, 11 Am & 1 PM: Jazzy Ash & The Leaping Lizards
Jazzy Ash invites the whole family to come along on a Crescent City-inspired, jazzy musical adventure with her band, the Leaping Lizards. Jazzy Ash’s songs celebrate the magic of movement, with a lot of sugar and sass thrown in, New Orleans-style. She brings high energy to her shows and makes sure that the audience feels like a part of the band, “favoring call-and-response lyrics, dance moves and just about anything else that will get children out of their seats.” – LA Times

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Pablo’s “virtuosic playing” and “irresistible exuberance” (The New York Times) in a family-friendly setting.

May 30, 11 AM & 1 PM: Sonia De Los Santos
Children and grownups of all backgrounds delight in the joyful and bright music of Sonia De Los Santos. Her songs, in both Spanish and English, reflect her inspiring journey of growing up in Mexico and immigrating to New York City. “Walls separate people, bridges connect. It’s something to consider when you see people expanding their horizons and spreading positive vibes for a change. One such person is Sonia De Los Santos.” – LatinTrends
