The Shell is named both for its design and in honor of its waterfront location between Coronado and the San Diego Convention Center.
Rafael Payare, who last fall debuted as the symphony’s new music director, will conduct at least two concerts this summer at the Shell,“The Shell will add greatly to the vibrancy of our city,” symphony Chief Executive Martha Gilmer said. “And there are performances we’re producing that you won’t be able to hear anywhere else.”
and vocalist Bobby McFerrin, one of three musicians to be named a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters honoree.The Shell will have a flexible seating capacity that will enable it to accommodate between 2,000 and 10,000 attendees per event, as opposed to the 2,900-to-4,000 capacity at the symphony’s 2019 summer concerts.
The rear of the stage area will include a 5,445-square-foot public viewing deck. The symphony is also building a 68-stall restroom, part of which will be open year-round to the public. The concert site will also be rented out, be it for private functions, groups meeting at the adjacent San Diego Convention Center or other events.
“I get very emotional about it, because this site has created incredible memories for people who have attended concerts at it for a long time. But this is also an opportunity for people who haven’t been here yet to discover it.”
