If you have nothing to so this weekend and feel like incorporating a little culture into your life, check out the La Jolla Summerfest 2010 starting Aug. 6 through the 27th. La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest is a nationally-recognized Chamber music festival featuring more than 70 world-class artists and ensembles performing concerts.

Since its inception in 1986, SummerFest has welcomed more than 650 renowned artists and ensembles, four talented artistic directors and nearly a 250 million audience members at venues in San Diego and over the airwaves nationwide.

This season’s event should be nothing less than extraordinary with a wide range of performances including many Classical music favorites such as an Evening with Emanuel Ax on Aug. 11 at 7:30p.m. at the MCASD Sherwood Auditorium, as well as the Chopin Celebration: From the Salon to the Opera House, on Aug. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the MCASD Sherwood Auditorium.

There’s something for everyone and every taste at the SummerFest where events change daily and prices vary. The best bet is to head to the website where you can pick and choose for yourself.

Whether you enjoy Chopin or Schumann or anyone in between, you’re sure to have a grand time at this highly popular event. If you’re in the party mood, you can also attend the SummerFest Gala on Aug. 13 at 6:00 p.m. at the Scripps Seaside Forum.
