Last night had the pleasure of seeing Justin Hurwitz conduct the SF Symphony. The best modern composer/conductor of our time. He left me licking my fingers, Bravo!

La La Land screening last night at San Francisco Symphony was magical. Conducting the musicians was Justin Hurwitz! He composed music for the film. There were albums which he signed at the event. The SFS even made a special cocktail called City of Light sold at the bar. Music, a strong drink and festival crowd made it a perfect night!!!

I attended a great event here. It was a showing of Encanto with music by the San Francisco Symphony. I ordered my tickets online and had them mailed to me. When I got there, it wasn't immediately clear which entrance to use. I waited by the upper doors, but couldn't enter that way. For some reason, everyone has to enter near the box office even if they already have tickets. Makes things a bit crowded right before the doors open. The elevators are slow enough to make you wonder if they ate working before they arrive. I found my seat, and it had a good view. The seats are a bit old, and as is standard in most theaters, they aren't very wide. It was a decently comfortable seat. The Orchestra itself was wonderful. I'd gladly seen another concert or movie with concert here. They had great energy and enthusiasm, and it looked like they were having fun with the music. At intermission I sought out food and drinks. The line for food was very long. It took most of intermission to wait on it. I ordered a sandwich and a soda. I ate half my sandwich and was about to head back in, but then I was told no eating in the theater. They did allow me to close the box and bring it with me, after offering to hold the food for me. They should have signs near the food stands warning people they only have intermission to eat. They offer main courses, but there's no time to eat them. I didn't see if the food stands were open before the show. If so, that would be the better time to eat as the doors open an hour before showtime. There are doors from the second tier that open onto lovely balconies with great views. Be sure to take a look. Overall, it was a great evening. I'd return, though I'd love to see a few minor organizational and signage changes.

We attended a fantastic show this weekend at the symphony. Casino Royale was shown while the symphony played....I have seen this movie many times but this was the best by far! The buildings main entrance is on the street between the opera house which is pretty busy before the show started. We like using an Uber or Lift to avoid local parking as it can be expensive in that area. For the symphony you can't order your intermission food or beverage online. Helpful hint: you can order it with your bartender before the show starts. That way, it will be at a table waiting for you and you don't have to wait in line (the line can be long). Just look for the table with your name on it!!! There is really no bad seat in the place so purchase a ticket which matches your budget....the venue is awesome!!
