“The Culture Card program is an important part of our organization’s music education initiatives,” said Christine Lim, director of education at San Francisco Performances. “In a city as culturally sophisticated as San Francisco — not to mention one with a sizable student population — we want to ensure that local students have access to world-class performances at a low cost.”
