It is a nice building, but you can't compare to European style. The neighborhood is full of beggars and crazy people. Did not feel very pleased.

Bad acoustics, bad customer service, I would recommend that you go anywhere else. These people are arrogant, rude, and have absolutely no talent whatsoever. You WILL be disappointed ;-(

A bit pricey but defiantly worth going to see the SF Symphony or one of the many other venues offered. A beautiful structure.

The music selections are varied and it is also nice to hear guest conductors sometimes. We feel lucky to have such quality music so close to home.
