InterMusic SF

InterMusic SF is an advocate for artists and a catalyst for dynamic, diverse, and creative music making. Our mission is to support Bay Area musicians in their professional growth to ensure a vibrant music community through live, free performances, fiscal sponsorship, grant making, career development, and curated performance partnerships. 

We serve creators and presenters across a spectrum of genres, cultural, and aesthetic backgrounds, including early music, world influenced music, classical music, new music, jazz and creative music.

Our Fiscal Sponsorship program focuses on access to resources for professional development, fundraising, networking, promotion, and visibility. Our fiscally sponsored affiliates include small ensembles, presenting organizations, educational programs, and composers for whom fiscal sponsorship provides a necessary point of access to find support and resources otherwise outside of their scope.

Our Musical Grant Program supports the distinguished work of Bay Area musicians, with over $810,000 awarded to support 277 exciting, diverse, and ambitious musical projects. 

Our flagship event, SF Music Day engages thousands of audience members and hundreds of musicians from throughout the Bay Area for our annual celebration of live, local music making. This high-profile event in the heart of Civic Center provides a platform for the promotion of their work beyond the scope of the festival.

Since our founding, the organization has steadily broadened its purview, encompassing a greater diversity of musical practices focused on the small ensemble. Our core programs have increasingly served a broader musical community, leading ultimately to our rebranding in 2017 to reflect this growth.
