THE FRINGE
One of the most exciting components of BFX Ten is the Fringe-- a series of self-produced concerts by soloists and ensembles from around the world. For more information on the many additional early music Fringe concerts and events happening in conjunction with the 2010 Berkeley Festival & Exhibition, please visit http://www.sfems.org/bfx10.shtml.

THE EARLY MUSIC AMERICA (EMA) CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION
As part of BFX Ten, EMA will hold an early music conference June 10-12, 2010. The conference, "400 Years of Vespers," will commemorate the 400th anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, a masterpiece that has sparked numerous performances across North America in 2010. The conference, which will be part scholarly "academy" and part participatory workshop, will provide an opportunity for scholars, teachers, professional and amateur performers, and early music enthusiasts to interact with and learn from each other in an informal setting. Check EMA's website (http://www.earlymusic.org/) for details.

The exhibition, as part of the Berkeley Festival & Exhibition (June 6-13, 2010), features publishers, instrument builders, service organizations, universities and other early music practitioners. Free and open to the public, the exhibition is presented by Early Music America.
