The San Francisco Symphony is dedicated to exploring the intersections between classical music and diverse musical cultures. They introduced a new artistic leadership model with Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, anchored by eight Collaborative Partners from varied disciplines, fostering exceptional orchestral experiences.

During the pandemic, the Symphony prioritized health and safety, leading to the cancellation of concerts through December 2020. They remain committed to delivering exceptional performances and engaging audiences. Moving forward, the Symphony promises flexibility and empathy, ensuring that their mission—creating powerful connections to live orchestral music—remains constant, and reminding supporters that their support makes concerts possible.
