About Us

Many volunteers are needed to staff the important positions for events scheduled at Copley Symphony Hall and Embarcadero Marina Park South. Volunteers augment a small core of paid staff for nearly every front-of-house function, interacting heavily with patrons to ensure a pleasant experience.

We utilize volunteers to staff over 100 events a year, ranging from all types of musical concerts to corporate events, movies, and comedians. In addition, we also rely heavily on volunteers to support San Diego Symphony concerts and rental events at Embarcadero Marina Park South.

The volunteer ushers are also expected to enforce Copley Symphony Hall policies. For a list of rules involving both patrons and the ushers themselves click here. Click here to download the usher handbook in Adobe format.
