Concert Series Winter/Spring 2008

April 2008

San Diego Public Library thanks all of you who have supported our annual concert series through your attendance and donations.

The Fall 2008 series will begin August 17. If you wish to be placed on our mailing list to receive the master schedule in July, please give your name and e-mail address or U.S. address to the Music Librarian, in the Art, Music and Recreation Section of the Central Library.

The Central Library is pleased to announce the schedule for the Winter/Spring season of its annual concert series. The series is made possible by public and private donations, and by the San Diego Public Library matching fund program. The concerts are very important to the musicians in the series because they provide a venue for them to perform locally. The community has responded enthusiastically as well, as shown by steadily growing attendance by musicians, music lovers, music appreciation students and San Diego residents. During the 2006-2007 series alone, over 1,100 people attended the concert series.

• Where: Central Library, downtown - 820 E Street, Third floor auditorium
• When: All concerts are held on Sundays at 2:30 p.m. and they last about one hour.
• Cost: Programs are free and open to the public
• Parking: Free parking is available at the Five Star Parking lot adjacent to the Library on Broadway and 8th. In addition, parking meters are not enforced on Sundays, and other pay parking lots are available in the vicinity of the library. See map for more details about parking downtown.
