Experience John Pizzarelli live on October 25th

John Pizzarelli is scheduled to perform at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla, California on October 25, 2026. Pizzarelli is a guitarist and vocalist known for his interpretations of the Great American Songbook, blending jazz with traditional pop and swing elements. His style often incorporates a sophisticated harmonic sensibility rooted in classic jazz guitar, alongside a warm, inviting vocal delivery. He frequently performs material originally associated with Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and other iconic singers.

The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, which opened in November 2021, serves as a central hub for arts and culture in La Jolla. The center houses the Baker-Baum Concert Hall – a 500-seat venue designed by HGA Architects and acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, specifically engineered for optimal sound quality. It replaced the smaller UCSD Mandeville Auditorium as the primary performance space for classical music and dance presented by UC San Diego’s ArtPower program. The facility also includes an outdoor plaza intended to host community events. The center aims to provide a versatile space accommodating diverse artistic disciplines and fostering engagement with the arts within the San Diego community.
