We believe that through that connection-both on stage and off-we can enrich all our lives, broaden our experience, open our minds, and achieve La Jolla Music Society's mission. We seek to create a working environment where everyone knows they are welcome and valued regardless of who they are or how they identify; where difference is encouraged; and where those differences help us learn from one another.
