San Diego Symphony Orchestra

The Bacon Brothers

Each summer, the Salk Institute’s iconic courtyard becomes the setting for an experience unlike any other. On August 15, 2026, we will celebrate the 30th Annual Symphony at Salk, an extraordinary milestone anniversary where world-class music will meet world-changing science. Symphony at Salk is a celebration of the shared spirit that drives both science and music: imagination, discipline, and the pursuit of something greater than ourselves.

This year’s concert under the stars will feature a spectacular performance by the San Diego Symphony and special guest stars The Bacon Brothers, led by Emmy-winning composer Michael Bacon and acclaimed actor and musician Kevin Bacon.
