Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, also known as The Conrad, opened in 2019 with a grand opening weekend held April 5–7, 2019. Located at 7600 Fay Ave in La Jolla, California, it is owned and operated by the La Jolla Music Society, a tax-exempt nonprofit and the resident presenting organization. The campus centers on the Baker-Baum Concert Hall, an acoustically engineered seated hall for approximately 500 guests, and also includes The JAI, a flexible smaller performance space, plus an outdoor courtyard and terrace for events.
The venue is regarded as a premier chamber music and performing arts facility in the San Diego region. Its programming includes chamber and classical music, jazz, world music, dance, solo recitals, piano performances, film paired with live music, and community and educational programming. It also serves as the permanent home of the La Jolla Music Society and its SummerFest series, bringing renowned classical, chamber, and jazz artists to an intimate coastal setting.
Named for philanthropist Conrad Prebys, the center is known for its purpose-built music environment, adjustable acoustic elements, and close connection between performers and audiences.

Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or ensemble, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from chamber music and solo recitals to marquee artists and SummerFest headline concerts.
For chamber, classical, and recital performances, tickets are often approximately $35–$95, with pricing driven by seat location, performance type, and artist or ensemble prominence.
For marquee artists and SummerFest headline concerts, tickets can run about $75–$150 or more. Demand for major SummerFest performances and prime center-orchestra seating can push pricing higher, especially in a small hall where inventory is limited.
Because the Baker-Baum Concert Hall seats approximately 500 guests, high-demand performances can sell out quickly. Buying earlier helps secure better seat selection and stronger availability before the best remaining sections become harder to find.
