    The San Diego Sound Project

    The San Diego Sound Project has been made possible in part by The Conrad Prebys Foundation. This concert series highlights emerging groups or artists within the San Diego region. Support from the Foundation allows us to present these artists live at the Museum while offering a free live stream option. The project is supported by an advisory committee that includes GRAMMY Award winning producer and UCSD faculty member Kamau Kenyatta, CSUSM Professor and Center ARTES Executive Director Dr. Merryl Goldberg, Grossmont College Music Department Chair Derek Cannon, Emmy Award-winning composer and MiraCosta College faculty member Christy Coobatis, and Connections Chamber Music Series Co-Founder Bridget Dolkas.
