Event Description

Due to COVID-19, the SF Symphony will not be performing in Davies Symphony Hall until January 2021. We look forward to discovering a new way to celebrate the opening of the 2020-21 Season with you. To be the first to know about this newly-envisioned experience, contact the Volunteer Council at 415.503.5500 or [email protected].

The Patrons’ Dinner draws an impressive crowd of San Francisco’s businesspeople, philanthropic leaders, and style icons – together under an exquisitely decorated tented pavilion. Loge or Main floor seating is yours at Esa-Pekka Salonen’s inaugural concert as Music Director. Joining him and the Orchestra on Opening Night are the Symphony’s eight Collaborative Partners: Nicholas Britell, Julia Bullock, Claire Chase, Bryce Dessner, Pekka Kuusisto, Nico Muhly, Carol Reiley, and Esperanza Spalding.

Continue the evening at the After-Party, with live music, dancing, signature cocktails and bites from renowned restaurants across the Bay Area. The exclusive post-concert Aria Reception with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Collaborative Partners is a benefit to purchasers at the Superstar and Aria levels.

Proceeds from the Opening Night Gala benefit the Symphony's myriad artistic, community, and education programs.
