Founded in 2003 by renowned musicians David Finckel and Wu Han, Music@Menlo has garnered a reputation for innovation and excellence and has emerged as one of the world’s leading music festivals. This twelfth season takes place July 18 through August 9, 2014, and is centered on the picturesque campus of Menlo School, located on the San Francisco Peninsula. Led by founders and esteemed performers David Finckel and Wu Han, Music@Menlo brings to Silicon Valley a lineup of the world’s most accomplished musicians and scholars. Adding to this mix is a roster of promising young artists, making for a unique, immersive three-week chamber music experience. Festival Announcement: Music@Menlo 2014 Page 2 All festival events, including symposia, master classes, and related activities, are to be presented at Music@Menlo’s three venues in Atherton, California. Music@Menlo’s 2014 chamber music festival, entitled Around Dvořák, focuses on the unfolding dynamic at the end of the Romantic era between the Viennese Classical tradition and the passionate nationalist expressions of a generation of Central European composers. At the center of this dialectic was Antonín Dvořák, the self-described simple Czech musikant who nonetheless garnered the respect of the paragon of Viennese musical society, Johannes Brahms. The festival will examine the world of Dvořák through its eight innovative, thematically programmed Concert Programs and four artist- curated Carte Blanche Concerts, which together feature forty-eight world-renowned artists and include performances of works by Bartók, Dohnányi, Enescu, Janáček, Kodály, Ligeti, Liszt, Zemlinsky, Suk, Chopin, Bach, and Brahms. Also featured are rarely performed works by the Czech master Erwin Schulhoff, Alexander von Zemlinsky, and modern-day American powerhouses Ives and Crumb, among many others. The Encounters, multimedia symposia led by foremost experts in the classical music field, will take listeners on an in-depth journey through the life and times of Dvořák. The first topic is an exploration of his emergence as a composer against the backdrop of the multinational and multiethnic environment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Other Encounters will examine Hungary’s highly idiosyncratic musical language and the noble Lobkowicz family and its remarkable collection of manuscripts, musical instruments, and historic archives. The concluding Encounter will delve into the profound impact the Second World War had on musical life in the West and beyond. In addition to the festival’s thematically inspired Concert Programs, the artist-curated Carte Blanche recital series, and the Encounter lecture series—Café Conversations, the Listening Room series, and the ever-popular AudioNotes are also a vital part of the season’s offerings. Training the next generation of outstanding chamber musicians is a significant component of Music@Menlo’s mission. The Chamber Music Institute, an intensive three-week program for outstanding young artists, runs concurrently with the festival. The Institute offers open master classes featuring Institute participants, Prelude Performances, Koret Young Performers Concerts, and a daylong Institute Open House, all of which are free and open to the public. The festival artists performing at Music@Menlo form a faculty for the Chamber Music Institute that rivals that of the nation’s top conservatories. Thanks to an ongoing partnership with American Public Media, live performances from Music@Menlo will be heard by radio and online listeners worldwide in the 2014–2015 season, presented as part of American Public Media’s broadcasts. Music@Menlo 2014 is made possible in part by a leadership grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Additional support is provided by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Koret Foundation Funds, U.S. Trust Private Wealth Management, Bank of America, and the many individuals and organizations that share the festival’s vision.

Concert Program I: DVOŘÁK IN CONTEXT The 2014 season begins on a festive note (July 19, 6:00 p.m.), as Mozart’s Serenata notturna leads to Dvořák’s pastoral Opus 51 Quartet. Dvořák’s powerful utilization of folk idioms is a tradition inherited by Martinů and Bartók, as evidenced by Martinů’s Three Madrigals and Bartók’s jubilant Divertimento for Strings. The rich traditions represented by these works—Viennese Classicism on the one hand and Central European nationalism on the other—come together in the world of Dvořák, whose flowing lyricism, rhythmic flair, and singular accent characterize the best of the two worlds. Festival Announcement: Music@Menlo 2014 Page 5 Concert Program II: VIENNESE ROOTS The foundation of Viennese Classicism that Dvořák drew on, including the traditions of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, is more deeply explored in this summer’s second Concert Program (July 20, 6:00 p.m., and July 22, 8:00 p.m.). “Viennese Roots” begins with Haydn’s Piano Trio in C Major and then unfolds with two works by Franz Schubert, his Impromptu in A-flat Major and Rondo brillant in b minor for Piano and Violin. Dvořák’s Bass Quintet rounds out the program. Concert Program III: LOBKOWICZ LEGACY The Lobkowicz family has ranked for generations among the Western world’s greatest arts patrons. The seventh Prince Lobkowicz, Joseph Franz Maximilian, was a benefactor to Haydn and Beethoven and was the dedicatee of Haydn’s Opus 77 string quartets, the first of which, in G major, is performed on this concert (July 25 and 26, 8:00 p.m.). Beethoven, too, dedicated numerous works to the prince, including his Opuses 18 and 74 quartets as well as the song

The largest deposits of coal are located in the basins of the foothills of the Ore Mountains, at Sokolov, Chomutov, Most and Teplice. These areas were developed exclusively on the basis of coal mining at the expense of other economic activities, the natural environment, the existing built environment, social structures and public health. Everything had to make way for coal mining as coal was considered the “life blood of industry”. Mining executives, mining projection auxiliary operations, and especially Communist party functionaries were rewarded for ever increasing the quantities of coal mined and the excavation and relocation of as much overburden as possible. When I began in 1979 as an officer of government of the regional Regional National Committee (KNV) for North Bohemia in Ústí nad Labem, the craze for coal was in full swing, as villages, one after another, were swallowed up.

Present Ctoner: Menlo School and College. Present Use: Administrative offices, study halls, and bachelor faculty apartments. Significance; This house, one of the first in California to be constructed entirely of reinforced concrete, was designed by the prominent California architect, William Curlett, for the mining heiress Mary O'Brien Payne and her wealthy husband, Theodore F. Payne. The house was subsequently owned by the inventor Leon F. Douglass. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A Physical History 1. Date of erection: 1909-1914. The house was commissioned in 1906 and construction was probably delayed by Mr. Payne's death in 1907. 2. Architect: William Curlett (1845-1914). Curlett came to San Francisco from Ireland in 1871. Initially he worked as a draftsman for Thomas J. Johnston; they established a firm of Johnston & Curlett in 1873. In 1877 he joined Augustus Laver in the firm of Laver & Curlett, and thus was partially responsible for the 1879 design of Linden Towers for James C. Flood. They designed the William S. O'Brien mausoleum, which Oscar Lewis described as "long unrivaled (despite stiff competition) for sheer ugliness in the field of cemetery architecture." After 1880 Curlett was associated with several different architects: Theodore A.

    AGENDA ITEM I-4 Public Works STAFF REPORT City Council Meeting Date: 12/4/2018 Staff Report Number: 18-225-CC Informational Item: Update on the citywide Safe Routes to School program Recommendation This is an informational item and does not require City Council action. Policy Issues The development of a Citywide Safe Routes to School program (Program) is included as one of the top-six priority projects in the City Council’s adopted 2018 work plan. The program is also an implementation program included in the 2016 general plan circulation element. Background On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted its 2018 work plan, including the Citywide Safe Routes to school program and further prioritized it as one of the city’s top-six priority projects. Accordingly, staff reprioritized work efforts and prepared a draft request for proposals for the program. The Safe Routes to School subcommittee of the Complete Streets Commission and advocates from Parents for Safe Routes reviewed the draft request for proposals. Staff incorporated this feedback and released the request for proposals May 2, 2018. Six proposals were received by the May 23, 2018, due date. A team of seven people comprised of City staff and Complete Streets Commission subcommittee members reviewed proposals and recommended Alta Planning + Design to initiate the program. Authorization for entering into an agreement with Alta Planning + Design was approved at the City Council meeting June 19, 2018. A notice to proceed was given in July 2018, and this report serves as an update to the work that has been performed over the last five months.
