Experience Sullivan Fortner live on August 13th

Sullivan Fortner is scheduled to perform at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla, California on August 13, 2026. Fortner is a pianist and composer known for a distinctive style blending jazz improvisation with elements of gospel, classical, and hip-hop. His work often features intricate harmonies, rhythmic complexity, and a deeply personal expressive quality. He has released several albums to critical acclaim, establishing himself as a significant voice in contemporary jazz.

The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, which opened in 2009, serves as a central hub for arts and culture in the San Diego area. Originally named the La Jolla Playhouse Theatre District, it was renamed in 2014 to honor local philanthropist Conrad Prebys following a substantial donation. The center houses the Mandell Weiss Theater – a proscenium stage – and the Potiker Theatre – a more intimate flexible space. It regularly hosts performances spanning theater, dance, music (including classical, jazz and contemporary), and speaker events. The venue aims to support both established artists and emerging talent while fostering community engagement through arts education programs.
