Founded by firebrand Music Director Jessica Bejarano, the mission of the SF Phil is to take world-class symphonic music off the pedestal and into the heart of our community. SFPhil is an orchestral group dedicated to cultural enrichment and music education. The purpose for which the SFPO is organized and operated is both charitable and educational as defined in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations as they now exist or as they may hereafter be amended. The objectives are - to create and maintain a non-profit organization - to offer musicians and vocalists from San Francisco and from the surrounding communities an opportunity to perform a variety of orchestral, ensemble, and choral music - to provide the community with an enriching, educational, and cross-cultural experience through music performances - to contribute to the enhancement of performing arts in the San Francisco County
