Presented by the University of California, Berkeley, Cal Performances conducts over 100 performing arts events every year in numerous locations throughout the school's campus and the city. These shows range in style from modern and classical dance and theater to chamber music and jazz. In addition to showcasing both newer and proven artists, the program inspires others to engage in public and community service activities.
