Meraki Concert Series
After the successful 2017 trip a commitment was made to by the SDYSCS and Mission Bay Music to make the Goodwill Ambassadorial Tour a Biennial program.
To help fundraise for the return trip in 2019 Mission Bay Music and the San Diego-Yokohama Sister City Society created a unique, student driven, bi-weekly concert series.
Fully produced by the students Mission Bay Music, the Japanese Friendship Garden Concerts series provides San Diegans an exciting new JAZZ program of unique live performances, running from February to April (extended to May in 2020). The series is set against the serene backdrop of the Japanese Friendship Garden within the halls of the elegant Inamori Pavilion.
This bi-weekly concert series provides spectacular performances by established and emerging artists and is designed to provide an unforgettable experience of different sounds and styles of a wide variety of JAZZ genres.
The Japanese Friendship Garden Concerts series is organized and produced by the music students of Mission Bay Music and this one-of-a-kind Work-Study experience gives the students the opportunity to play a role in every aspect of event promotions and production, from the booking of talent to sales/marketing, to sound reinforcement and customer relations.
