Timothy Ridout live in La Jolla

Experience Timothy Ridout live on August 23rd

Violinist Timothy Ridout is scheduled to perform at The Baker-Baum Concert Hall in La Jolla, California on August 23, 2026. Ridout is a British violinist recognized for his intensely expressive and technically assured performances of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works. His playing is often described as possessing a rich tonal palette and a compelling emotional depth, frequently noted for its lyrical quality and nuanced phrasing. He has gained prominence through international competition successes, including the International Violin Competition “Yehudi Menuhin” in 2018 and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition.

The Baker-Baum Concert Hall is located on the campus of the University of California San Diego. Opened in 2015, it’s specifically designed for chamber music and new music performances. The hall's acoustics were meticulously crafted by acoustician Cyril Harris, known for his work on New York’s Avery Fisher Hall (now David Geffen Hall). It features adjustable acoustic elements allowing for flexibility in sound projection tailored to different ensemble sizes and musical styles.
