Summer 2016: New Beginnings

All undertakings big and small germinate from ideas. Join Tactus of San Francisco for our debut concert, as we present Renaissance choral motets and madrigal about New Beginnings: from the anticipation of dawn and the fruiting of vines, to the founding of the Church!

This free performance is part of the 2016 Berkeley Festival and Exhibition.
