Confirm the room because festival listings on the same campus also use Martin and Stent Family Halls, then review the performance time, seating, parking, accessibility, and current admission terms.

To celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2012, Music@Menlo reversed its music-centric model to focus on the listener, exploring the enduring question of why organized sound can have such a powerful effect. Concert Program V reflects this approach through a varied selection of emotionally arresting works, including Josef Suk’s Meditation on an Old Czech Hymn , David Serkin Ludwig’s Three Yiddish Dances and Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence .

In 2006, Music@Menlo celebrated the 250th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a distinctive way––concluding every festival program with a work by the composer. This program considers Mozart’s music as a point of reference within a broader musical and historical context. The idea of Mozart as a “destination” reflects the enduring presence of his work at significant moments in listeners’ lives and its reputation for balance, clarity, and expressive depth.

Music@Menlo’s 2015 festival was a three-week immersion in the music and life of Franz Schubert, inspired by the intimate Schubertiades —late-night gatherings devoted entirely to his music—that surrounded the composer during his short life. The final program of this summer’s festival presents two monumental works that reveal Schubert stepping into Beethoven’s shadow, and emerging with a voice entirely his own. Schubert’s Second Piano Trio, completed one year before his death, is a direct descendant of Beethoven’s final trio, the Archduke of 1812. Since then, no trio on such a grand scale had been attempted. Framed by outer movements of enormous dimension and sensations of timelessness, the inner movements offer two quintessential Schubert vignettes: a depiction of the Romantic-era wanderer trudging through snow in vain, and a delightful Viennese waltz.
