Incorporated a year later, the group raised the necessary funds and on December 8, 1911, at the Cort Theater under the baton of Henry Hadley, the San Francisco Symphony made its debut.<br /> <br /> The performance was held at 3:15 pm because the musicians were occupied at cafes and music halls in the evening. Only the first violins and a few first chairs were paid.<br /> <br /> Later that season, [[San Francisco Opera|Luisa Tetrazzini]] gave a benefit concert with the symphony to raise money to buy the music library of the Pittsburgh Symphony, which had ceased performing. The concert raised $1,025 of the needed $4,000, and the balance was made up by a generous donor.<br /> <br /> Leonora Wood Armsby became managing director of the musical association in 1935, engaging Pierre Monteux as the symphony&#039;s new conductor. The Monteux years (1935-1952) were critical ones in the development of the orchestra as we know it today. Many of Monteux&#039;s performances with the San Francisco Symphony may be heard on the Standard Hour Collection, also housed at PALM.<br /> <br /> Armsby remained a part of the symphony for many years, serving as managing director and president until 1953. <br /> <br /> [[San Francisco Symphony Timeline|Prev.
