“The world-class chamber music festival and institute featured an innovative approach to showcasing the breadth of Bach’s work and his

tremendous artistic influence on generations of Western composers.”

—SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Music@Menlo

2013 Summer Festival SummaryMusic@Menlo’s 2013 season, From Bach, celebrates the timeless work of Johann Sebastian Bach, the composer whose profound legacy has shaped Western music over the two and a half centuries since his death.

To the ears of many modern listeners, the canon begins with Bach, and arguably every major musical innovation has borne his influence. Whether in the craftsmanship of composers from Haydn to Mendelssohn, the sonic magnitude of Brahms, Bartók, and Shostakovich, or even the sensual allure of Debussy, Richard Strauss, and George Gershwin, Bach’s legacy endures. The 2013 summer season examined that legacy, mining the depths of Bach’s art from the perspective of the generations of great composers who followed. Through eight Concert Programs, five Carte Blanche Concerts, and four Encounters, festival participants had the opportunity to experience more music in the festival’s three weeks than ever before.

In the festival’s signature fashion, the depth and content of Music@Menlo’s ancillary offerings provided opportunities for discovery and engagement unique to Music@Menlo. Through public Institute activities including master classes and Café Conversations and extended offerings including the Listening Room and AudioNotes, fifty professional musicians, six emerging young professional alumni-faculty members, thirteen preprofessional musicians, thirty-two Young Performers, twenty-five interns, and thousands of audience members enjoyed exploring music through a lens of their own emotional responses.

Mission To expand the chamber music community and to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of the art form by championing the highest artistic quality in live performance, promoting in-depth audience engagement with the music and artists, and providing intensive training for aspiring professional musicians and industry leaders.

Overview Celebrating its eleventh season this year, Music@Menlo has become an internationally acclaimed summer festival and institute combining world-class chamber music performances, extensive audience engagement, intensive training for preprofessional musicians, and a variety of activities which have broadened and enhanced the chamber music community of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

Music@Menlo was founded on the conviction that, while great music offers aesthetic pleasure and spiritual renewal at the most basic listening level, deeper engagement with the art form opens doors to inspiration and enlightenment. Great music generates connections with cultures across ages and continents and culti-vates fluency in new and diverse creative languages. It enhances our understanding of Western history, intensifies the enjoyment of well-known works, and increases the appetite for and capacity to be engaged by unfamiliar music.

An immersive experience centered on distinctive thematic pro-gramming, Music@Menlo enriches its core concert offerings with myriad opportunities for in-depth learning to intensify audiences’ enjoyment and understanding of the music. The festival’s partic-ular brand of enrichment complements core content, providing new ways for longtime concertgoers and newcomers of all ages to explore chamber music.

2013 Summer Festival ActivitiesMAIN-STAGE EVENTS

Thematically Organized Chamber Music Concert Programs — In 2013, Music@Menlo explored the legacy of Bach through a total of thirteen performances of eight Concert Programs in three venues. Each Concert Program reflected Bach’s influence on the entire trajectory of music history.

Carte Blanche Concerts — This series included five performances by a cadre of today’s most exciting musicians. Percussionists Christopher Froh, Ayano Kataoka, and Ian Rosenbaum performed on an array of percussion instruments, portraying the vitality of the Baroque master’s impact in the twentieth century. Violinist Soovin Kim made his Music@Menlo debut with a formidable recital program traversing the evolution of the solo violin repertoire. Colin Carr, who inaugurated Music@Menlo’s Carte Blanche Concert series in 2004 with an unforgettable marathon performance of the complete Bach Cello Suites, revisited two of them as part of the 2013 season’s Bachian journey. In “Into the Light,” violinist Jorja Fleezanis curated and led our fourth Carte Blanche Concert by examining music’s mysterious power to give voice to the human condition, from our darkest and most introspective moments to our most radiant. The final Carte Blanche of the season welcomed distinguished cellist Laurence Lesser, renowned for his probing explorations of the Bach Suites in concert and on recordings, to complete the summer’s cycle of Bach’s Cello Suites in a provocative program.

Michael Steinberg Encounter Series — Encounters, Music@Menlo’s signature series of multimedia symposia led by classical music’s most renowned authorities, embody the festival’s context-rich approach to musical discovery and add an integral dimension to the Music@Menlo experience. The 2013 festival season’s four Encounters explored Bach’s enduring legacy and significance in our time, giving audiences context for the season’s eight Concert Programs. These ticketed events continue to be some of the most sought-after programs at the festival. This year, Music@Menlo welcomed Ara Guzelimian, Stuart Isacoff, Michael Parloff, and Artistic Administrator Patrick Castillo as Encounter Leaders.

ChAMbER MUSIC INSTITUTE

Forty-five conservatory-level performers and promising young musicians, ages nine to twenty-nine, participated in the 2013 International Program and Young Performers Program of the Chamber Music Institute. The Institute offers an intensive program where students have unparalleled opportunities to hone their musical skills through daily individual and ensemble coachings. They attend all festival concerts and lectures, appear before and interact with large festival audiences, and receive ongoing professional mentoring.

Faculty-Coaches and Artist-Faculty — The Institute provides students with direct and sustained contact with leading musicians and musicologists. Most artists on the festival’s elite roster of main-stage performers instruct and collaborate with students in coaching sessions, master classes, and other Institute activities. This year, six Chamber Music Institute alumni returned as faculty-coaches for the Young Performers Program, and International Program alumna Gloria Chien (’06) continued as Chamber Music Institute Director. Again this year, renowned pianist Gilbert Kalish returned as International Program Director, and all six members of the coaching faculty joined Music@Menlo’s main-stage professional artist roster.

International Program — Thirteen students, with an average age of twenty-five, participated in the International Program. They came to the Institute from prestigious educational institutions including the Juilliard School, the Cleveland Institute of Music, New England Conservatory, and the Peabody Conservatory. All International Program participants attended the Institute at no cost, through generous support provided by contributions to the Ann S. Bowers Young Artist Fund.

Young Performers Program — Thirty-two students, with an average age of fifteen, participated in the Young Performers Program, nineteen of whom were from the San Francisco Bay Area. Through special funding from the Tenth-Anniversary Campaign, eleven students from outside the Bay Area were provided housing in nearby Menlo College dormitory facilities. Twenty-seven Young Performer families were awarded full or partial need-based financial support and/or merit-based scholarships from the Ann S. Bowers Young Artist Fund.

ARTS ADMINISTRATION INTERNShIP PROGRAM

Twenty-five college students and recent college graduates participated in the 2013 Arts Administration Internship Program. Interns were trained in all aspects of arts administration including artist services, development, event planning and catering, marketing and merchandising, operations, patron services, photography and videography, production, publicity and publications, recording engineering, and student services. The interns, who were integral to the success of the festival, worked side by side with the festival’s staff as highly visible members of the Music@Menlo team. Over the past eleven years, the festival’s Arts Administration Internship Program has served 188 interns from ninety-seven colleges and universities around the world. In 2013, Music@Menlo hired a 2012 Development Intern as the new full-time Development Associate. The internship program is supported by the David B. and Edward C. Goodstein Foundation.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Chamber Music Institute Concerts: Koret Young Performers Concerts and Prelude Performances (FREE) — Twenty afternoon and early evening concerts (three Koret Young Performers Concerts and seventeen Prelude Performances), performed by the Chamber Music Institute participants, provided ideal points of access to chamber music for families, young listeners, and the broader community, with a total combined attendance of 4,350 across three different venues.

Café Conversations (FREE) — Discussions led by festival artists and special guests included “Behind the Drum,” “The Art of Sebastian Spreng,” “The Mystery of Bach’s Cello Suites,” “Pablo Casals, the Legendary Bach Interpreter,” and “Great Violinists through the Ages”

Master Classes (FREE) — The festival’s artist-faculty led eleven master classes in 2013. Live webcasts were offered of all master classes.

Visual Artist — Each season, Music@Menlo invites a distinguished contemporary visual artist to exhibit a selection of works during the festival and showcases the artist’s work in the festival’s publications. In 2013, artist Sebastian Spreng’s work was featured in the season’s promotional materials, including the brochure, program book, and season poster, as well as on note cards, the Music@Menlo website, and in an on-site installation in Stent Family Hall.

Festival Open House (FREE) — Hundreds of participants enjoyed a daylong behind-the-scenes look at the festival, which featured open rehearsals, a question-and-answer session with Artistic Directors David Finckel and Wu Han, open Institute coachings, and a Café Conversation with our Visual Artist, Sebastian Spreng.

Poetry Reading Workshop (FREE) — Created by eminent musicologist and writer Michael Steinberg, the Poetry Reading Workshop focuses on the art of reading poetry and its parallels with interpreting and performing music. This year’s reading, led by violinist Jorja Fleezanis with festival Artistic Administrator Patrick Castillo and Artistic Associate Andrew Goldstein, gave many young artists and coaches from the Chamber Music Institute as well as audience members an opportunity to interpret and perform a different form of art in front of their colleagues, peers, and members of the Music@Menlo community. Audience members also had the chance to share their own original poetry this year.

Music@Menlo

The series concluded with a program of beloved works for piano trio performed by Music@Menlo Artistic Directors David Finckel and Wu Han and Emerson String Quartet violinist and Music@Menlo favorite Philip Setzer. The program began with the exuberant A Major Trio by Joseph Haydn, a composer who is regarded as one of the fathers of the genre, followed by Dvorák’s Dumky Trio and the refreshing clarity and exuberant pathos of Mendelssohn’s d minor Piano Trio.

WINTER RESIDENCY AT MENLO SChOOL

In 2013, the ninth annual Winter Residency Program at Menlo School brought a select group of the festival’s Chamber Music Institute alumni back to campus to engage with Menlo School educators and students in a series of unique programs including thirteen classroom presentations, four private performances, and three assemblies. These programs reached the entire Menlo School student body of more than eight hundred students, all over a seven-day period in March of 2013.

The Winter Residency musicians also performed in the annual Chamber Music Institute Benefit Concert, which raises awareness and funds for the Chamber Music Institute.

Winter Activities2012–2013 WINTER SERIES

Complementing the world-class chamber music programming that distinguishes Music@Menlo’s internationally acclaimed summer festival, the Winter Series offers three exciting opportunities to further explore the vast richness of the chamber music literature, interpreted by some of classical music’s most commanding performers. The 2012–2013 Winter Series, three Sunday afternoon performances, took place at the Center for Performing Arts at Menlo-Atherton.

Last season’s Winter Series was greeted by positive critical acclaim and brought new audiences to Music@Menlo while offering year-round engagement for current audiences. The series opened with a masterly recital of works performed by the Miró Quartet. Hailed as one of the most exciting chamber ensembles on the international music scene, the Miró Quartet returned to Music@Menlo with an all-Beethoven program featuring the composer’s Opus 59 quartets, written for and dedicated to Count Razumovsky.

The second Winter Series concert, “Baroque Journeys,” showcased the foremost virtuoso of the recorder, Michala Petri, who joined cellist Christopher Costanza, oboist Allan Vogel, and harpsichordist John Gibbons for a performance of rarely heard Baroque chamber music works for recorder and ensemble. Petri, described by Fanfare magazine as an artist “who more than any other single player, has made the recorder into an instrument to be taken very, very seriously,” offered Menlo audiences a rare glimpse into this remarkable repertoire, with music by Baroque masters from Corelli and Vivaldi to Bach and Tartini.

“This festival is unique in its creative vision and programming, its world-class artists, and its pedagogical scope, much of

it driven by encouraging performers to be teachers.”—REPEAT PERFORMANCES
