Have Fun Supporting Your Symphony!
Upcoming Event: Deck the Hall, Sunday December 6, 2009
Join the Junior Committee of the San Francisco Symphony on Sunday, December 6 for Deck the Hall and become an Angel Donor. Deck the Hall is a holiday tradition, consisting of a family performance in Davies Symphony Hall with festive children's activities and entertainment following the performance. Angel Donors are invited to a special pre-performance celebration and receive premiere concert seating; Guardian Angel ticket holders or above are invited to the Angel Tree Lighting ceremony on December 2, when we light the holiday trees in Davies Symphony Hall.
Net proceeds of Deck the Hall benefit the San Francisco Symphony and its education and community programs. One such program that is made possible by your participation in Deck the Hall is Deck the Hall Community Day. The day following Deck the Hall, the performance is repeated free of charge to an audience of 2,000 underserved Bay Area children. For many children, this is their first opportunity to visit a concert hall and experience a live orchestral performance.
To learn more about Deck the Hall or for information about sponsoring a Family Tree – which underwrites one of the holiday trees that lines the lobbies of Davies Symphony Hall for the month of December, please call 415.503.5500.
