What to expect

Planning a visit to Martin Family Hall

Choose Martin Family Hall for Music@Menlo's master-class, lecture, or close-range prelude format rather than a main festival concert. Confirm the room on the individual event, because the same campus also contains Spieker Center and Stent Family Hall, then check parking, accessibility, admission, and seating guidance.
