Paddle raise to support SF Civic Music’s 2026 Season
Crescendo
Let’s celebrate!
As we wrap up another successful concert season, we reflect on the many benefits of playing and listening to music of all kinds. From the social aspect of building community and common ground to the individual benefits of lifting our spirits, soothing our grief, and expressing our joy, music enriches all our lives. Whether it is your lifelong passion or an occasional dabble, we invite you to bring your most musical self and join us in an uplifting evening of celebrating our musical community.

Previous Galas
At our previous galas, we watched twilight descend over the city from the balcony while enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres complemented by chamber music. In 2023 we had our first gala at the spectacular Salesforce Tower. We had live and silent auctions in support of several key initiatives for our upcoming seasons. Photos from previous galas:
