Behind the Scenes: Cal Performances' 2025/26 Season, with Jeremy Geffen

Join us as Executive and Artistic Director Jeremy Geffen walks us through Cal Performances’ 2025–26 season of over 80 music, dance, and theater performances. He'll share personal insights, anecdotes, and expertise contextualizing what makes each performance a unique and integral part of the upcoming season.

This is a great way to absorb major highlights; learn about the selections of artists, ensembles and repertoire in the season; and ask any questions you may have about the world-class artistry coming to the Berkeley campus over the next year.
