The Viola da Gamba Society-Pacifica, a chapter of the Viola da Gamba Society of America, is an association of viol enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. We enjoy playing chamber music of the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries (as well as some contemporary music) from England, France, Italy and Germany on treble, tenor and bass viols. Members include novice to advanced players, instrument makers, teachers and performers.

• Monthly Saturday meetings for playing in ensembles with players of similar ability and coached by leading professional players.
• Monthly Gamba News newsletter, September through June.
• Viol rental program. For information on currently available instruments and rates, contact John Mark.
• Referrals to local viol teachers.
• Cost of a normal membership is $40 per year, a student membership is $15 per year, and a household membership is $50 per year, all of which includes attendance at the monthly consort meetings and the chapter's newsletter. A $15 membership includes the newsletter only.
