While preparing for its October season, the San Diego Symphony (SDS) has announced that its 2016 Bayside Summer Night performances set an all-time record in ticket revenue.
Out of the Symphony’s top-ten sellers of all time, six of those performances took place this summer with Diana Ross, Chris Botti, 1812 Tchaikovsky, Spectacular and Seth MacFarlane, said an SDS official Carrie Jones.
