UC Berkeley | Summer 2025

We are delighted to announce a five-day summer course on the beautiful UC Berkeley campus, to be hosted by members of Cut Circle and by faculty from Berkeley, Princeton, and Stanford. 

The week-long course is open to both individuals (18+) and existing ensembles wanting to improve their sound and deepen their engagement with early repertoire. The course features immersive, small-group singing and individualized coaching sessions. Participants will experience the thrill of performing vocal polyphony alongside world-class interpreters of early music. Experts at top universities will lead workshops that bring to life the world in which this music was made.

This year’s institute focuses on Josquin des Prez (ca. 1450/51–1521), who produced some of the most artistically rewarding music in the vocal canon.
