Due to an extension of the Public Health Order prohibiting gatherings of 100 or more persons to slow the spread of COVID-19, the San Francisco Symphony (SFS) has decided either to cancel or to postpone all events at Davies Symphony Hall taking place through the end of the month of April. The list of cancelled events has been updated as follows:

In addition there is now a list of concerts that will be rescheduled. When any of them will take place has not yet been finalized.
