San Francisco Symphony is 100 Years Old TODAY









It's the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco Symphony's first concert ever on December 8! Did you know the SF Symphony's second concert, in 1911, was a children's concert? Here's a little "Then and Now" fun: a shot of kids enjoying an early SF Symphony concert at the Opera House, side by side with a picture of little ones experiencing a recent concert at Davies Symphony Hall. The SF Symphony has always been a leader in educating children in music, AND having the leading Youth Orchestra in the nation. BRAVO! (San Francisco Symphony Facebook post)
