Church in Palo Alto. Open house
To give audiences a closer look at Music@Menlo, festival organizers have scheduled a series of open-house events at Menlo School on Saturday, July 21. The day kicks off with a “Q & A Coffee� at 8:30 a.m. with David Finckel and Wu Han. Open rehearsals — on this day only — and open coachings will allow audiences to observe festi-
val artists and Chamber Music Institute students in the process of preparing to perform. The day will also include the season’s first Cafe Conversation, at 11:45 a.m. Held at the open house and on every weekday during the festival, the talks will feature artists mulling over many subjects related to music and the arts. In the evening, a “Prelude Performance� of young musicians starts at 6 p.m. in Martin Family Hall (free tickets required), followed by an 8 p.m. ticketed concert in Stent Family
Hall. The program, “Sustained,� features Schubert’s Fantasy in C Major, Mozart’s Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in A Major, and Beethoven’s Piano Trio in E-flat Major. The first in the festival’s eightpart concert series, “Sustained: Finding Strength,� includes Anthony McGill playing clarinet and Juho Pohjonen playing piano. The program will be repeated at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 22, at the Performing Arts Center at Menlo-Atherton. The series continues with
concerts in Atherton and Palo Alto featuring various combinations of the festival musicians. Returning artists include married singers Sasha Cooke and Kelly Markgraf, violinist Jorja Fleezanis and pianist Gilbert Kalish. The final concert program will be “Delighted: Music for the Fun of It,� to be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, at Stent Family Hall; and at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, at the Menlo-Atherton center. The celebratory music includes Trio for Violin Clarinet and Piano by Paul Schoenfield; and Felix Mendelssohn’s “Allegro brillant� in A Major for
Piano, Four Hands. In addition, Music@Menlo will allow the public to attend master classes, gratis, on each weekday of the festival. Visit musicatmenlo.org for more information. A
