Classic symphonies, popular artists, visual and experimental projects, and films presented in new ways, San Francisco Symphony’s 2026/27 season has dozens of events curated for you. While some may think a deep knowledge of classical orchestrations is necessary to enjoy a night at the symphony, all that is needed is an open mind and a desire to be surprised.

With as many different variations of performance provided by SF Symphony, there are almost just as many ways to plan how you’ll attend. Want consistency in the days of the week, musical style, and the seats you take in Davies Symphony Hall? The Subscription Series is for you. This package gives you the choice of a series based on classic orchestra, film, new artists, open rehearsals, shows for families, and more.

With the Compose Your Own subscription, you can mix and match genres, choosing the concerts you want. Plus, you’ll get to pick your seat before the public. The Compose Your Own Collection subscription gives you the same benefits, but if you need help narrowing down events, this option lets you choose from a predefined collection that fits your schedule and tastes.

The arts are for everyone. SF Symphony’s vision reflects this as it strives to be a catalyst for people to reimagine how they engage with music. – Ciara
