The La Jolla Music Society’s 2020-21 season will go on at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center but with livestreamed concerts replacing the performances in front of live audiences that were originally scheduled to take place between this month and late June.

Chia: The superfood can be traced back to the Aztecs and is still relied on today by the Tarahumara people in Chihuahua, Mexico, as a source of energy for arduous foot journeys.
