San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center

Thrilled to share how San Francisco's historic Herbst Theatre has completed its modernization with a cutting-edge Meyer Sound system. This upgrade aligns the 892-seat venue with its sister spaces on the Performing Arts Center campus, Davies Symphony Hall and the War Memorial Opera House, both boasting Meyer sound infrastructure. The installation provides crystal-clear sound for everything from classical piano to stand-up comedy. It's a perfect example of how thoughtful tech investments can honor tradition while expanding creative possibilities. ???????? #PerformingArts #SanFrancisco #VenueTech #LiveEntertainment #HerbstTheatre #SanFranciscoPerformances #Venues #SFVenues #SanFranciscoVenues

Last week, we welcomed hospital workers and veterans to attend a dress rehearsal and get a sneak peek of Raymonda. In creating Raymonda, Tamara Rojo was inspired by the story of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Inviting this group was a small way for us to show our thanks and appreciation for the community's commitment to compassionate care and contributions to our community. ??: Bay Area Healthcare professionals and veterans attending an open dress rehearsal of Rojo's Raymonda // ?
