San Francisco Symphony tickets

'San Francisco Symphony Tickets'

'The city of San Francisco was devastated after the 1906 earthquake and fire, but the residents of the area, however, were determined to rebuild. During the rebuild, a few residents decided that the arts scene needed to be established and nurtured, so the San Francisco Symphony held its first concert in 1911. The Bay area has always been a cultural location that appreciates the arts, so it is not surprising that this symphony was able to rise from the ashes. Its sound has become more innovative thanks to Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas' innovative vision. The San Francisco Symphony performs 200 days every year.'

'Dedicated to Educating Young Musicians'

'The San Francisco Symphony brings music to all the classrooms, K-12, in the San Francisco Unified School District for free. It started its Adventures in Music program in 1988, which teaches music to children in grades 1 through 5 in the public schools. The Instrumental Training and Support programs give students in middle and high schools the chance to be coached by professional musicians. The San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra launched sfkids.org in 2002, which is an online, interactive educational resource for children and their families.'

'What can I expect from a San Francisco Symphony performance?'

'The city of San Francisco has always been at the forefront of cultural movements, the arts and disruption. San Francisco Symphony is a reflection of this aspect of the city too. The music itself tends to be classical, but even classical music can express emotion. Haydn’s ’Surprise’ Symphony, for example, proves it was well-named. Ives' Three Places in New England is said to make audiences laugh while Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra may leave audiences awe-struck. While you do not have to wear your black and tie gala clothing to a San Francisco Symphony event, business attire is a good idea.'

'How long is a San Francisco Symphony performance?'

'The Symphony performs a range of concerts, series and events, so the length of a show will depend on its type.

There is an intermission during San Francisco Symphony performances during which you can enjoy a drink, a bite to eat or a visit to the gift shop.'
