Concert Series

Wednesdays@Noon

The donation-based free concert series Wednesdays@Noon was begun in 2012 to enrich the arts scene in Encinitas for residents, visitors, and cultural tourists from throughout the region. It has become the highest attended daytime series in the county with attendance of 160+ each week. The 50-minute concerts at the Encinitas Library feature outstanding musicians from throughout Southern California performing all styles of music. We hope to see you often! Established musicians who are interested in performing are encouraged to contact the Cultural Arts Division at (760) 633-2746, or by email.

Music By The Sea

Since 2012, the City has presented Music By The Sea, a ticketed concert series at the Encinitas Library. The Friday night concerts feature talented artists who are the winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions. Under the artistic direction of Laura Schmieder, more than 100 local and international artists are juried to participate in the annual auditions. Nine artists/ensembles are selected for each season which take place in Encinitas and Beverly Hills. A Season Pass for the Encinitas concerts is $145, individual concert tickets are $20 each when purchased in advance or $25 at the door, subject to availability.

"A much-sought-after opportunity for performers...the talent level is extremely high.".
