The San Diego Symphon announced an estimated $125 million renovation and restoration of the orchestra’s historic, indoor performing space – Jacobs Music Center in Downtown San Diego.

The Jacobs Music Center will see modernizations and improvements to audience amenities,  support spaces for musicians and more. The transformation of the hall will significantly improve the overall concert experience, putting Jacobs Music Center on par with peer concert halls. The project will honor the history of the Jacobs Music Center’s building, which opened in 1929 as a legendary Fox Theater.
