Vocal Celebration at Cal Performances
In our 2025–26 season, Cal Performances welcomes the return of Lila Downs in a Día de los Muertos celebration concert; the Vienna Boys Choir with a program celebrating the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss Jr.; the Soweto Gospel Choir for a special holiday season concert singing gospel classics and spirituals to feel-good pop songs; and Lara Downes and an all-star cast of collaborators perform a program of classical and popular music that explores the richness and complexity of the American experience. And making her Berkeley debut is Broadway star, opera diva, and television actor Kelli O’Hara singing show tunes and classics from the Great American Songbook. Also in the lineup is San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus’ Holiday Spectacular!; previous seasons sold out, so we’ve added two shows this year. Get your tickets early!
