San Francisco Symphony celebrated the opening of its 103rd season and 20th anniversary with Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas on September 3, 2014. The events included three dinners, a pre-concert reception, a gala concert with Yuja Wang and Bonnie Raitt, and a very lively after party.
The Symphony Supper, chaired by Rebecca Saroyan and Paula Blank, and the Symphonix Dinner, chaired by Libby Leffler and Blake Pearson, took place at City Hall prior to the gala concert. McCall Associates catered all three dinners and served some 862 guests in the patrons tent, 440 at the Symphony Supper and 382 at the Symphonix Dinner.
An elaborate tent built near Davies Symphony Hall housed the Patrons Dinner and the afterparty. Blueprint Studios created the décor for all cocktail receptions and dinners, the pre-concert reception in Davies Symphony Hall and the afterparty.
