Lunar New Year celebrations at SF Symphony showcased a vibrant festival atmosphere at Davies Symphony Hall. The event featured red lanterns, bamboo floral arrangements, and interactive activities like calligraphy and traditional dances. Mayor Daniel Lurie's speech emphasized local pride by countering negative perceptions of San Francisco. He encouraged residents to define the city's narrative moving forward, resonating with the community's desire for resilience and celebration through shared cultural experiences during the festive occasion.
"There is a lot of talk about San Francisco from outsiders. They're trying to tell us how we are. You're about to walk into a sold-out auditorium to celebrate all that is great about us. We're going to be the ones that define San Francisco going forward."
Lunar New Year is a time for family, and also a time for red envelopes. The annual concert in Civic Center bathed Davies Symphony Hall in a glow of red lanterns and bamboo wrapped in delicate floral arrangements.
