The Grand Feature Film Orchestra (GFFO)
We're a nonprofit, San Francisco-based group of professional musicians and engineers. Our orchestra can range in size from 7 to 35+ musicians.
With a passion for how music, sound effects, and visual media come together to tell stories, The Grand Feature Film Orchestra presents creative, original, and restored film scores live, perfectly synchronized with the action on screen.
Drawing on legendary classic cinema, the GFFO brings historic world-premiere performances, mixed with modern flavors, to deliver an exciting and unforgettable live concert experience.
In addition to our professional presentations, the GFFO provides free training for aspiring students from high school to advanced college level in film scoring, live performance, and engineering. We're dedicated to stewarding and empowering projects that foster community and civic participation and facilitate cultural engagement and free expression.
We're committed to advancing creative connections in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (S.T.E.A.M.) through student projects in collaboration with professional artists and engineers.
Above all, we're here to have fun bringing cinematic art and history to you!
