SUMMARY:2026 Berkeley Festival &amp\; Exhibition: Studio for the Early Amer
 ican Musical—If Trouble Is Coming Your Way
DESCRIPTION:A century-old Broadway songbook meets modern wit. Studio for th
 e Early American Musical revives classics by Kern\, Berlin\, Gershwin\, Ro
 dgers\, and more in a playful\, historically informed cabaret—clever\, h
 ilarious\, and surprisingly wise.\nThis concert is part of the 19th bienni
 al Berkeley Festival and Exhibition—or as we like to refer to it\, BFX! 
 Founded in 1990 and produced by the San Francisco Early Music Society (SFE
 MS)\, the Festival has become one of the world’s largest and most import
 ant early music conclaves\, deemed “a remarkable institution on the Amer
 ican musical scene” by The New York Times. This summer\, enjoy 21 main s
 tage concerts—including two in Palo Alto and San Francisco—as well as 
 special events\, a three-day exhibition\, community workshops\, and dozens
  of Fringe presentations. There is truly something for everyone! From Boet
 hius and Bach to gamelan and Gershwin\, this year’s lineup promises to e
 ntice and enthrall.\nBuilding off the success of BFX 2024\, our mainstage 
 concerts will continue to be pay-what-you-can\, which have brought record-
 breaking crowds to SFEMS in recent years. As always\, we encourage patrons
  to “pay it forward”—consider purchasing a subscription to ensure pr
 emium seating\, and to undergird our commitment to financial accessibility
  in early music. Pay-What-You-Can tickets are also now available!
