Concerts at the Senger House by Bernard Maybeck

This exceptional First Bay Regional Tradition home was designed by architect Bernard Maybeck for J.H Senger, Professor of German at UC Berkeley and Co-Founder of the Sierra Club. It is a complex structure showcasing Maybeck’s playful and creative use of unusual combinations of details. Here he has combined the exterior elements of Tudor half timbering, reminiscent of a traditional German Home, and the Berkeley brown shingle style. The house is lavishly appointed inside with grand public spaces that showcase Maybeck’s immense talent for the dramatic. It is this immense creativity and unbridled love of invention that makes Maybeck’s work so admired still today.

In the early 1900's, Professor Senger regularly hosted concerts at the home. Now, over 100 years later, we are revising this spirit with a series of regular concerts celebrating the joy of music, in all it many styles and forms.
