Orchestra
The Sound of San Francisco Ballet
Since 1975, the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra has been the powerful force beneath every leap, turn, and gesture on stage. Acclaimed for its rich sound and dynamic versatility, the Orchestra brings each performance to life—whether interpreting beloved classics or premiering bold contemporary scores. With every note, they deepen the emotional resonance of dance, uniting music and motion in perfect harmony.
