The C * -algebra A generated by the Bergman and anti-Bergman projections and by the operators of multiplication by piecewise continuous functions on the Lebesgue space L 2 (Π) over the upper half-plane is studied. Making use of a local principle, limit operators techniques, and the Plamenevsky results on two-dimensional singular integral operators with coefficients admitting homogeneous discontinuities we reduce the study to simpler C * -algebras associated with points z ∈ Π ∪ ∂Π and pairs (z, λ) ∈ ∂Π × R. We construct a symbol calculus for unital C * -algebras generated by n orthogonal projections sum of which equals the unit and by m one-dimensional orthogonal projections. Such algebras are models of local algebras at points z ∈ ∂Π being the discontinuity points of coefficients. A symbol calculus for the C * -algebra A and a Fredholm criterion for the operators A ∈ A are obtained. Finally, a C * -algebra isomorphism between the quotient algebra A π = A/K, where K is the ideal of compact operators, and its analogue A π D for the unit disk is constructed.
