Overview
Each year, San Francisco Symphony presents more than 230 concerts, which reach 500,000 people. Its extensive music education programs provide more than 25,000 students and families, including every San Francisco public school student in the first through fifth grades, with music and instrument instruction. Nationally and internationally, the Symphony reaches another 2 million through touring, recording, and broadcasts on radio, television, and the internet. Renewed funding would support the Symphony’s efforts to continue music education programs for K-12 students, sustain music-making opportunities for adults, and commence a series of audience development initiatives including enhanced programs.
