San Francisco Symphony's 103rd Opening-Night Gala

On September 3, the San Francisco Symphony celebrated the opening of its 103rd season with a gala that had several moving parts. For a dinner held in the Patron's tent (for top-level ticket holders), Got Light created a lighting scheme inspired by champagne bubbles. The design, created by Blueprint Studios, had an Art Deco vibe with hues of blush, gold, and silver.
