A five-time winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist\, Foley has won a Juno Award among other honors. Touring internationally\, she has shared stages with B.B. King\, Buddy Guy\, Jimmie Vaughan\, and Billy F Gibbons (ZZ Top)\, earning her place among the top tier of blues artists. Her latest release\, One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar\, was nominated for a 2025 Grammy. On it\, Foley plays acoustic guitar to honor the women who shaped the instrument’s history—from Maybelle Carter and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Ida Presti and Lydia Mendoza. A passionate scholar as well as a performer\, Foley holds a PhD in Musicology and will release her first book\, Guitar Women\, in 2026. As the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote\, “Foley has a killer voice\, an impossibly alluring blend of sex and innocence to go with those blazing guitar chops.” With One Guitar Woman\, she reclaims history and redefines what a guitar hero can be.\n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

A musical genius is born into circumstances that nourish his talent\, but starve him emotionally. He has an innate\, unwavering desire to cure suffering with music that expresses a more perfect world. More than 250 years later\, we are drawn again to Beethoven’s phenomenal musical imagination\, compassion\, and charismatic vision to find meaning and inspiration. Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime\, with a documentary film\, narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Beethoven’s work across the Festival. \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet\n \nExplore the Series \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \nBeethoven\, Now!\, curated by Susan Waterfall\, includes her documentary film on his life and music\, and performances of seventeen of his works spread over nine symphony and chamber concerts.
