The Bernal Hill Players is a local chamber ensemble conceived by San Francisco Community Music Center faculty members Jennifer Peringer on piano and Martha Rodríguez-Salazar on flute and voice, joined by Leah diTullio on clarinet.

They play both older and new repertoire, and have a special interest in promoting Bay Area composers. Pieces that cross boundaries between classical and world music intrigue them, and they feel particularly close to music with Latin connections.

Their mission is to be accessible, innovative, friendly, and educational. Above all they want people to be able to respond intuitively to the beauty of the music they make.
