Our repertoire ranges from duos to work for sinfonietta-sized ensembles, and we regularly work with guest artists to expand our programming possibilities. Works listed in orange have been chosen to mark significant composer anniversaries; please also see our Berkeley Ensemble celebrates… concert series.
