About Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall

Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall is the concert hall of the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. The 2,743-seat hall, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Pietro Belluschi, was completed in 1980 at a cost of US$28 million to give the San Francisco Symphony a permanent home; before that, the orchestra shared the neighbouring War Memorial Opera House with the opera and ballet. Acoustic renovations by Kirkegaard Associates followed in 1992, and a Fratelli Ruffatti pipe organ with 147 ranks was added in 1984.
