More than 750 guests attended the 22nd annual Symphony at Salk on August 26, raising $1 million for Institute research and education outreach programs. Guest artist David Foster, with “Friends” Eric Benét, Sheléa, and Jessica Sanchez, had the audience on their feet and dancing. This year’s concert under the stars featured a red motif and a new visual system that projected the art of Françoise Gilot onto the concrete walls.
