​SVAA was founded in 1945 (Under another name)   by a small, energetic group of artists, including Hazel Hohberger.   The primary founder was Leonard Cooper.

​He and his brother, Ignacio,  were also involved with the beginning of the Symphony Association.

 The two brothers were childhood playmates of John Steinbeck.
