Should You Stand for the “Hallelujah” Chorus?

The Zephyr Symphony creates resonant, emotionally charged musical experiences that connect people through beauty, clarity, and imagination. Inspired by movement, place, and possibility, we bring the breath of the natural world into our artistry — crafting performances that are at once intimate and expansive, rooted in reflection yet driven by renewal.

“Zephyr” means the gentle west wind — light, renewing, and poetic. In Greek mythology, Zephyros is the god of the west wind, bringer of spring and new life. Based in San Francisco, the Zephyr Symphony reflects the city’s natural environment — its coastal breezes, fog, and shifting light — as well as its cultural spirit of openness, innovation, and artistic excellence.

Through bold programming that pairs beloved masterworks with living voices, Zephyr embodies the resilience, grace, and imagination of its namesake wind: ever moving, ever transforming, ever lifting the human spirit.
