In 1931, Mrs. Sigmund Stern created the San Francisco Civic Symphony, with the support of Dr. Josephine Randall, who was the first director of the San Francisco Recreation Department. The symphony today is the oldest community orchestra on the West Coast. Since 2002, the symphony has functioned as an all-volunteer orchestra, managed by the members of the orchestra and volunteer supporters.
