Davies Symphony Hall
Grove Street & Van Ness Avenue (map) (415) 864-6000
Completed in September, 1980 after more than two years of construction, Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall is the home of the San Francisco Symphony. More than six thousand individuals, foundations, and corporations donated the money needed to build the Hall. The City of San Francisco donated the land and the State and Federal governments gave a total of $10 million toward the $28 million project. The San Francisco Symphony’s home owes its name to the efforts and perseverance of Mrs. Louise M. Davies, the largest individual contributor to the building.
During the summer of 1992, Davies Symphony Hall underwent a major renovation, enhancing its acoustics to ensure an even better musical experience, and making an already stunning interior more beautiful still. Special care was also taken to provide improved facilities for the physically disabled.
