CONCERT SERIES

Celebrating

Our 51st Anniversary Year!

 As an outreach of the Worship and Arts Ministry of La Jolla Presbyterian Church, the LJPC Concert Series is a community service program that provides inspiring music, free of charge, to the congregation and community.

However, this 51 year old Series is not funded by LJPC, but rather through the generous offerings and donations from our patrons. Our hope is that you will support our efforts both in attendance and through donations. For more information on how to help support the LJPC Concert Series click here.

Free parking is available in the LJPC underground parking garage. Come early to be assured of a parking space!

Christmas Concert

This evening features Bach’s Magnificat with the Chancel Choir and a professional orchestra under the direction of Dr. Keith Pedersen. In music that juxtaposes jubilation, wonder and awe, Bach reflects on the response of Mary to the news that she will bear the Messiah.

The concert also showcases traditional Christmas carols old  and new, sung by the Chancel, Youth and Children’s Choirs and the congregation. Join us as we experience the Nativity story through word and music in this festive family event.
