Our Vision

Imagine a world where at the heart of every community, village, or neighborhood is a thriving arts venue—a gathering place where you can bring your entire family and meet up with friends of all ages to experience heart-warming, soul-stirring, life-affirming live performances that connect you with your humanity on a regular basis.

In this version of our world, a neighborhood’s arts and culture center is as important as its city hall and community members feel it as the beating heart of their society.

Our Mission

Based in an intimate neighborhood setting in the heart of San Francisco, Noe Music combines world-class live performances with interactive education to build musical knowledge, foster community, and nurture an abiding love for a range of collaborative acoustic musical styles.

With a deep appreciation for both traditions of the past and today’s most innovative voices, Noe Music is a cultural hub for new artistic collaborations both near and far. Excellence, inclusivity, depth, and intimacy are the core values that guide our programming, helping us expand the communities we serve and build a future in which the arts exist at the center of our society.

We aim to serve SF families holistically through mainstage concerts, kids concerts tailored to young ears, in-school workshops, and the Lullaby Project.
