Time Out says

Formed to boost public morale shortly after the 1906 earthquake and fire, the San Francisco Symphony performed its first concert in 1911. Today, under the dynamic direction of Michael Tilson Thomas, the orchestra is internationally recognized for its innovative work, winning several Grammy awards in the process. Davies Hall is a fitting venue for this lauded orchestra—a striking, multi-tiered, curved-glass edifice with flawless acoustics and clear sightlines. There isn't a bad seat in the house, and that includes the 40 in the center terrace section behind the orchestra that start at a mere $15 for most performances.

What’s on

St. Vincent with the San Francisco Symphony

St. Vincent has never been an artist who plays it safe, so pairing her with the San Francisco Symphony feels less like a novelty and more like the next logical step. For one night at Davies Symphony Hall, the six-time Grammy winner brings her art-rock catalog into an orchestral setting, with sweeping new arrangements that give songs old and new an entirely different scale. It's part of a limited run of symphony collaborations happening in just a handful of cities, making this a rare chance to hear one of modern music's most inventive performers in a way Bay Area audiences likely won't experience again anytime soon. If you've only seen St. Vincent in a club or festival setting, this promises to be something altogether different.
