Loma Linda University Health's Fine Arts Festival is celebrating its golden anniversary (1973–2023) in April and May. The event returns post-COVID with a full spectrum of art, music, and drama, featuring LLUH employees, LLU students and faculty, and members from surrounding communities.
Through the years, a number of local musicians in the community have taken the lead for the Fine Arts Festival, which is a joint effort between Loma Linda University Office of Student Experience and the local community—one of the more prominent being the Loma Linda Art Association.
Lily Diehl, DMA, long-time beloved piano teacher in the community as well as accomplished vocalist and pianist, has accepted leadership of the Fine Arts Festival for 2023. She has been working with Karl Haffner, DMin, vice president for student experience, and others on campus and in the community to organize the many events included in the Fine Arts Festival.
