SUMMARY:2026 Berkeley Festival &amp\; Exhibition: Voices of Music—Voice o
 f the Viol
DESCRIPTION:Marking 400 years since John Dowland’s death\, this intimate 
 program explores his unmatched eloquence—from aching melancholy to radia
 nt beauty—featuring voice\, lute\, and viol consort.\nThis concert is pa
 rt of the 19th biennial Berkeley Festival and Exhibition—or as we like t
 o refer to it\, BFX! Founded in 1990 and produced by the San Francisco Ear
 ly Music Society (SFEMS)\, the Festival has become one of the world’s la
 rgest and most important early music conclaves\, deemed “a remarkable in
 stitution on the American musical scene” by The New York Times. This sum
 mer\, enjoy 21 main stage concerts—including two in Palo Alto and San Fr
 ancisco—as well as special events\, a three-day exhibition\, community w
 orkshops\, and dozens of Fringe presentations. There is truly something fo
 r everyone! 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 brought record-breaking crowds to SFEMS in recent years. As always\,
  we encourage patrons to “pay it forward”—consider purchasing a subs
 cription to ensure premium seating\, and to undergird our commitment to fi
 nancial accessibility in early music. Pay-What-You-Can tickets are also no
 w available!
