2027 Summer Workshops!
Each summer, SFEMS brings musicians together in the heart of downtown Berkeley for four weeks of immersive early music workshops. With internationally renowned faculty, unique themes, and opportunities for musicians of all levels to play, learn, and connect, there’s something for everyone.

Over four decades, SFEMS’ summer workshops have meant so much to so many. Consider supporting the future of early music by becoming a workshop angel donor!
Tuition covers a substantial portion—but not the entirety—of our rising costs. With the workshop experience already an expensive endeavor for many folks, we are acutely aware of the impact of increasing tuition and room & board fees. Our workshop angels are crucial in helping us meet this challenge.
As a workshop angel, you can ensure that we recruit and retain our top-flight instructors, all experts in historically informed performance. You can also “pay-it-forward” through sponsoring a scholarship for a young musician. Your gift will help our early music community flourish and expand!
Become a Workshop Angel!
Becoming an angel:
A $1,500 gift underwrites one scholarship;
A $3,000 gift underwrites one faculty member.;
A $6,000 gift underwrites one workshop director, or provides for general support for the workshop.
That said, a gift of any size is greatly appreciated!
Let us shout our appreciation from the rooftops, or you may choose to remain anonymous!
