	Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, the concert hall component of the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center, was built in 1980 at a cost of $28 million to give the San Francisco Symphony a permanent home.
		Howevever, the hall's large volume and seating capacity and the relatively immature knowledge of acoustics at the time initially resulted in less than ideal results.
		Davies Hall also contains offices for Symphony staff, a music library, dressing rooms, a recreation room and lockers for Symphony musicians, and the Wattis Room, a private dining room for major donors.

	PRESS RELEASE San Francisco Symphony Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Davies Symphony Hall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The move from the War Memorial Opera House to Davies Symphony Hall in 1980 marked a new era for the San Francisco Symphony.
		With a concert hall built specifically for symphonic music for the first time since its inaugural performance in 1911, the Orchestra became a completely new entity, separate from its previous incarnation as a symphony and an opera orchestra.
		Davies Symphony Hall is owned by the City and County of San Francisco and managed by the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center.

	Davies Symphony Hall - San Francisco, CA, - Citysearch
		Acoustically, the 2,700-seat concert hall is stunning; aesthetically, the verdict is anything but unanimous.
		In the hall, seats radiate from the proscenium stage in three-quarter rings.
		Built in 1980, Davies clearly was designed to be a modern take on conventional concert-hall architecture (more glass, less gilt), but it falls short of astounding structures such as the Sydney Opera House.

	A symphony triumph
		Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony made a thrilling case for this youthful and deeply profound work in Thursday afternoon's performance at Davies Symphony Hall.
		The Symphony No. 2, which was last performed here during the S.F. Symphony's 1998 Mahler festival, is something of a patchwork.
		Often called the "Resurrection" Symphony (for the hymn of the same name in the final movement), it was assembled in parts by the composer, beginning with the first movement, written in 1888 as a symphonic poem, "Todtenfeier" (Funeral Rites).

	Music in Schools Today: Big Music Lesson
		The design of Davies Symphony Hall harmonizes beautifully with the older buildings of the surrounding Civic Center, matching the Opera House in height and shape of roof, and imitating the curve of the City Hall dome.
		Davies Symphony Hall is actually two buildings -- the concert hall and the public lobbies, one inside the other.
		Everything in the hall is designed to allow the best possible sound for the San Francisco Symphony, from the rectangular shape of the hall's main floor to the risers on stage and the "egg-carton" protrusions on the ceiling.

		Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, among the most spectacular of all first symphonies, shows the young composer writing at full power in a work that opens with forest murmurs and ends in blazing triumph.
		Mahler had the extraordinary capacity to express extremes of emotion in his music, but the Fourth is unique among his symphonies for concentrating almost exclusively on the sunny side of the spectrum.
		Symphony Board member Gordon Getty generously furnished the leadership funding to launch the recording venture.

	LOOKING BACK / Dressed up at Davies / Symphony Hall's 25 years of opening night fashion
		When it opened in 1980 at a cost of $28 million, Davies Symphony Hall replaced the War Memorial Opera House as the showcase for the San Francisco Symphony.
		The hall also became stage for some of the grander social outings in recent civic history with opening-night galas.
		Here are some of the gowns that have lent sartorial sparkle to the Symphony's opening night galas during the past 25 years.

	SYMPHONY OPENING NIGHT / City celebrates Symphony Hall's silver anniversary
		Over in City Hall, the Symphonix group dined in the North Light Court and the Symphony Supper was held in the Rotunda.
		But it was the Patrons' tent set behind the hall that drew a chorus of oohs and ahs.
		A cocktail reception within the hall's gleaming marble foyer, elegantly accented with a profusion of yellow roses rising from giant stone urns, was abuzz as members of the swell set convened our local version of the Trooping of the Colors.

	San Francisco Symphony Season Opens With Fiddle Fête, Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, September 4, 2002 (HS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		You can tell opening night is not for the regulars when they applaud loudly between movements of the J.S. Bach "Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins, Strings and Continuo," especially when the performance was something of a muddle.
		Part of the problem was the preliminary speech by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, who quite rightly put the focus on the violin in use by the symphony's concertmaster, Alexander Barantchik, who teamed with the Israel-born soloist Gil Shaham for the Bach.
		Several of the benefactors who made this happen were in the audience to be publicly thanked, and this being the first time the public had heard the violin with the symphony, it's understandable that the big finish of the first movement would draw applause.

	Nielsen: Symphonies no 1-3 / Blomstedt, San Francisco PO \| ArkivMusic
		This is the first of two Double Decca reissues containing Herbert Blomstedt's justly praised second cycle of the complete Nielsen Symphonies.
		Blomstedt directs all three symphonies with just the sort of unfussy naturalness and rhythmic thrust that Nielsen's music demands.
		Add to this mix the superb playing of the San Francisco Symphony, along with top drawer sonics from Decca, and the result is a Nielsen cycle that earns the highest possible recommendation.

	Pastreich on Blomstedt
		He made a crucial contribution to improving the acoustics of Davies Symphony Hall.
		In dozens of meetings with our acoustician and architect, he was always ready with suggestions and support, leading the way to a concert hall whose renovated look not only fit in with the existing architecture, but whose smooth, round shapes were the physical representations of the kind of sound he wanted to hear.
		I can't think of a happier note on which to introduce this review of Herbert Blomstedt's decade with the San Francisco Symphony as we pay him tribute for all he has done for this great Orchestra.
