Description

The San Francisco Symphony sets the highest possible standard for excellence in musical performance at home and around the world; Enriches, serves, and shapes cultural life throughout the spectrum of Bay Area communities; Maintains financial stability and gains public recognition as a means of ensuring its ability to fulfill its mission.




Take a trip through time with some of America’s most notable composers and most recognizable works. Be transported to the old west with John William’s Overture to The Cowboys, which originally featured John Wayne in the leading role.  Delight in the sounds of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue which never fails to evoke a sultry jazz club of the 1920’s, and harken back to the 1940’s wartime in New York with Bernstein’s Academy Award-winning On the Town.


Half price for ages 17 and under.
