SUMMARY:2026 Berkeley Festival &amp\; Exhibition: Cut Circle—From the Hea
 d of Zeus
DESCRIPTION:Cut Circle explores Josquin des Prez’s astonishing early mast
 ery with music from the 1480s\, blending cutting-edge research with thrill
 ing performance under the direction of Jesse Rodin.\nThis concert is part 
 of the 19th biennial Berkeley Festival and Exhibition—or as we like to r
 efer to it\, BFX! Founded in 1990 and produced by the San Francisco Early 
 Music Society (SFEMS)\, the Festival has become one of the world’s large
 st and most important early music conclaves\, deemed “a remarkable insti
 tution on the American musical scene” by The New York Times. This summer
 \, enjoy 21 main stage concerts—including two in Palo Alto and San Franc
 isco—as well as special events\, a three-day exhibition\, community work
 shops\, and dozens of Fringe presentations. There is truly something for e
 veryone! From Boethius and Bach to gamelan and Gershwin\, this year’s li
 neup promises to entice and enthrall.\nBuilding off the success of BFX 202
 4\, our mainstage concerts will continue to be pay-what-you-can\, which ha
 ve brought record-breaking crowds to SFEMS in recent years. As always\, we
  encourage patrons to “pay it forward”—consider purchasing a subscri
 ption to ensure premium seating\, and to undergird our commitment to finan
 cial accessibility in early music. Pay-What-You-Can tickets are also now a
 vailable!
