Symphony Silicon Valley is the professional symphony orchestra of San Jose and the South Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2002 following the demise of the San Jose Symphony, the orchestra debuted to rave reviews and standing ovations on November 23, 2002 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.[1] Started initially by Ballet San Jose as a way to keep their core musicians employed and in town after the closure of the San Jose Symphony,[2] the orchestra was so successful that it was spun off as its own separate nonprofit organization after the first year.[3]
