MUSIC

Pacific Telesis Foundation has awarded the San Francisco Symphony $250,000, enabling music director Herbert Blomstedt to take the performers on a California tour--including stops in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, Santa Barbara, Orange County and Palm Springs--in late 1989 and early 1990. It was the largest cultural award in the five-year history of the foundation, said Sam Ginn, chief executive officer of Pacific Telesis Group.
