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.

San Francisco Symphony James Bond Forever

James Bond has always known how to make an entrance. This concert does the same. James Bond Forever brings more than six decades of 007 music to Davies Symphony Hall, where the San Francisco Symphony performs the unforgettable themes behind cinema's most famous spy, from Goldfinger and From Russia with Love to Skyfall, No Time to Die, and more. Broadway star Lena Hall joins the orchestra, adding her powerhouse vocals to an evening built on glamour, suspense, and some of film's most recognizable melodies. There are no movie clips competing for your attention here. The music takes center stage, giving John Barry's iconic scores and the franchise's legendary theme songs the full cinematic treatment they deserve. Even without Bond on screen, it's hard not to picture him walking into the room.
