Administrative History
The La Jolla Civic Orchestra was founded in November 1954 by Peter Nicoloff, a violinist with a distinguished career in Europe.
The La Jolla Civic Orchestra Association was incorporated in California on December 4, 1957. The Orchestra's mission was to
advance public knowledge and appreciation of music. Thirteen years later, in 1967, the Orchestra added a permanent chorus
and became the La Jolla Civic Orchestra and Chorus Association.
In 1972, the organization was renamed the La Jolla Civic-University Orchestra and Chorus Association to reflect its association
with the newly-formed Department of Music at the University of California, San Diego. The University helped to increase and
improve both the Orchestra's repertoire and size, providing new rehearsal space as well as new student musicians. The Orchestra,
composed of musicians from the local area, UCSD students and faculty, is funded primarily by membership donations. Administration
is carried out by a board of directors who serve on a volunteer basis. In 1994, the Orchestra's name changed to the La Jolla
Symphony and Chorus Association.
