About Us

MusicSources is devoted to music from the Middle Ages to the Romantic Era (1500 to 1850).

For over 35 years MusicSources has brought awareness and appreciation for the historically informed performance of western early classical music to the San Francisco Bay Area. MusicSources was founded by Laurette Goldberg, who led the organization from 1985 to 2005. She was succeeded by Gilbert Martinez from 2005 to 2023. JungHae Kim has now taken on the mantle of Artistic Director to lead the organization forward and to expand our service and connection to our Bay Area community of musicians and early music educators.

MusicSources is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization devoted to the historically informed performance of music from the -Middle Ages through the Romantic Era (1500 to 1850). MusicSources serves as a local, national, and international base for professionals and promising students.
