Multi-platinum, 12-time Grammy Award-winner John Legend will join the San Francisco Symphony to bring John Legend: A Night of Songs and Stories with the San Francisco Symphony to audiences on July 23–24.   
  
John Legend: A Night of Songs and Stories with the San Francisco Symphony will feature intimate reimaginings of Legend’s greatest hits (“All of Me,” “Ordinary People,” “Tonight”), unexpected stories from his life and career, and selections from his most recent release LEGEND (“Nervous,” “Wonder Woman”). These concerts are Legend’s first-ever performances with the San Francisco Symphony. 
 
EGOT-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-platinum musician John Legend has garnered 12 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, and three Emmy Awards, among others.

Aside from film, TV, and theater, Get Lifted has partnered with Zando to form Get Lifted Books, which builds upon Get Lifted Film Co.’s mission of spotlighting stories from dynamic creatives. In 2023, Legend launched Loved01, his effective and affordable unisex skincare brand formulated to treat the needs of melanin-rich skin. As an activist, Legend launched FREEAMERICA in 2015 to change the conversation surrounding criminal justice policies and to end mass incarceration.
