SF Symphony gave me nostalgia and magic at its 2024 gala
Briefly

"Galas are as much about mingling as attending the show itself for me, and we caught a few familiar faces at VIP reception downstairs; Real estate broker Robert Beadle introduced himself and I mentioned seeing him at pretty much everything, to which he said: ‘If there was an opening of a jar, I’d be there.’"
"The symphony of today still carries that same magic and almost-familial experience from childhood, even though the reality has some tense undertones. Thomas exited a bit ago, and their new director is not here for the long haul; there’s also ongoing salary concerns that are coupled with talks on how to spend big money on updating Davies."
