Early Music Concerts at Cal Performances
Our 2025-26 season of Early Music events feature returning favorites and the debut from an ensemble performing Handel. We welcome back to our stages Jordi Savall and his Hespèrion XXI and La Capella Reial de Catalunya ensembles with Tembembe Ensamble Continuo honoring the more than 25 million people enslaved by Western nations; the Tallis Scholars with an Easter season program; the English Concert directed by Harry Bicket performing Handel’s opera Hercules; and period-instrument ensemble Twelfth Night making its Berkeley debut with Handel’s romantic comedy Aminta e Fillide.
