SUMMARY:2026 Berkeley Festival &amp\; Exhibition: Pacific MusicWorks—The 
 Countess
DESCRIPTION:Baroque meets drag in this dazzling cabaret starring bass-barit
 one John Taylor Ward’s flamboyant Countess. Campy\, intimate\, and boldl
 y theatrical—history has never felt so alive.\nThis concert is part of t
 he 19th biennial Berkeley Festival and Exhibition—or as we like to refer
  to it\, BFX! Founded in 1990 and produced by the San Francisco Early Musi
 c Society (SFEMS)\, the Festival has become one of the world’s largest a
 nd most important early music conclaves\, deemed “a remarkable instituti
 on on the American musical scene” by The New York Times. This summer\, e
 njoy 21 main stage concerts—including two in Palo Alto and San Francisco
 —as well as special events\, a three-day exhibition\, community workshop
 s\, and dozens of Fringe presentations. There is truly something for every
 one! From Boethius and Bach to gamelan and Gershwin\, this year’s lineup
  promises to entice and enthrall.\nBuilding off the success of BFX 2024\, 
 our mainstage concerts will continue to be pay-what-you-can\, which have b
 rought record-breaking crowds to SFEMS in recent years. As always\, we enc
 ourage patrons to “pay it forward”—consider purchasing a subscriptio
 n to ensure premium seating\, and to undergird our commitment to financial
  accessibility in early music. Pay-What-You-Can tickets are also now avail
 able!
