Stockton's Bob Hope Theatre, a restored 1930 movie palace, hosts touring rock, jazz, and classical. The Brubeck Institute at University of the Pacific keeps the city's jazz legacy alive; Dave Brubeck honed his style here. Delta College's jazz program and the Stockton Symphony round out a formal scene. Latin and country find stages in the agricultural sprawl, while indie and hip-hop push at the edges. The San Joaquin Valley is no cultural dead end; it is where tradition meets the next generation.
