Volunteer Ushers for Symphony Concert

Save to Favorites

The San Francisco Civic Music Association (SFCMA) is seeking friendly classical music lovers to serve as ushers for our Civic Symphony concert, Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto & Dvořák's Symphony No. 7. The oldest community orchestra in the west coast, the SFCS provides a welcoming place for musicians of all levels to play, and hosts free performances for the public quarterly.

Ushers will help to direct the 400+ concert attendees to the theater at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and are free to enjoy the concert once attendees are seated. The time commitment for volunteering is approximately three and one half hours. Usher responsibilities include:

Directing patrons to seating (general admission, no tickets)
Handing out concert programs
Directing patrons to restrooms and emergency exits as needed
Collecting donations before, during intermission, and after the program

Ushers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the concert venue. Ushers will be given a brief orientation at 2:00 pm prior to the doors opening at (roughly) 2:30pm and the concert's 3:00 pm start.
