Incredible Decades July 12–August 3, 2019 WELCOME to MUSIC@MENLO CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL AND INSTITUTE The Seventeenth Season: Incredible Decades July 12–August 3, 2019 WELCOME TO MUSIC@MENLO Dear Friends, Music is indeed a wonder of our world. Although it is rooted in science, music nevertheless has its greatest effect on our emotions. All who par- ticipate in music have undoubtedly experienced moments of common curiosity about this art form: how does it work? How did it come to be? Why am I so affected by it? Music@Menlo is eternally driven by these compelling questions. In past seasons, our festival has focused its lens on music from many angles. In the process, all of us—from listeners to performers and the entire festival com- munity—have moved closer to the mysterious core of our art. Relishing the joy of the search, discovery, and enlightenment, we neither expect nor even hope to find the single answer. But classical music’s vast depth and variety continue to provide us with summer after sum- mer of new paths to explore as well as unforgettable experiences along the way. The story of classical music is both long and ongoing. It can be told in part within a single concert or over a whole season of programs. In the coming summer, Music@Menlo will reveal music’s extraordinary evolution in seven chapters, each a program dedicated to an especially rich and con- sequential decade. We’ll experience the ascent of Bach to the commanding throne of the Baroque era; the propulsive career that made Beethoven, during his lifetime, the world’s most famous musi- cian; the artistic maelstrom of the Roaring Twenties; and much more. Joining us for this journey will be Music@Menlo’s signature selection of the most brilliant artists we know, performing in our Concert Programs, Carte Blanche Concerts, and Overture Concert. Our Encounters this season are especially illuminative of our seven Incredible Decades: don’t miss Music@Menlo’s rare opportunity to pair your concert experiences with entertaining, in-depth lec- tures on the music and its surrounding history. A new roster of ever-more-astounding International Program artists waits in the wings to thrill us, as does the vibrant legion of Young Performers, always melting hearts and showing us the bright future of our art form. We are so excited about this summer. The combination of artists, the music and its context, and the incomparable Music@Menlo spirit never ceases to surpass our very high expectations. We hope you’ll be a part of it. Best wishes, David Finckel and Wu Han Artistic Directors The Martin Family Artistic Directorship Front and back cover art by 2019 season Visual Artist Klari Reis.

So have history’s finest composers, attuned to the zeitgeist of their respective eras, captured the spirit of their times in sound. Music@Menlo’s 2019 season illuminates the evolution of the chamber music tradition over three hundred years by focusing on seven Incredible Decades— each an extraordinary chapter in which history’s most insightful composers chronicled the tectonic shifts in the world around them. Through music illustrating the zenith of Classicism in the 1790s, the 1840s epicenter of Romanticism, the vitality of the fin de siècle, and more, the festival’s seventeenth season celebrates decades that encapsulate the dynamism of both an art form and the cultural winds that have powered its evolution.

But by the early eigh- teenth century, one supreme artist had emerged who would be recognized as history’s greatest composer three centuries later. The summer’s opening program brings together a colorful selection of music composed between 1710 and 1720, setting the stage for Bach’s resplendent First Brandenburg Concerto. 6 subscribe at www.musicatmenlo.org | 650-331-0202 Michael Steinberg Encounter Series CONCERT PROGRAM I The Encounter series, Music@Menlo’s signature multimedia sym- Bach Ascending posia, embodies the festival’s context-rich approach to musical Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco (1675–1742) discovery and adds dimension and depth to the Music@Menlo Trio Sonata in A Major, op. 3, no. 12 (1712) experience. The 2019 festival season’s four Encounters, led by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) experts in their fields, connect the unique contributions of each Violin Concerto in a minor, TWV 51: a1 (ca. 1708–1716) of the festival’s Incredible Decades to the evolution of chamber music, providing audiences with context for the season’s seven Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713) Concert Programs.

The following year, the twenty-two- year-old Beethoven traveled to Vienna, where, under Haydn’s tutelage, he inherited—and then transformed—the Classical tradition.

  • Preconcert Enlightenment
    News By Robert Moon 08/08/06 Preconcert Enlightenment Google the phrase preconcert lectures, and 131,000 articles appear, describing the myriad of musical organizations — mostly classical — that hire speakers to precede performances. The last few years have seen a proliferation of these learned attempts to inform and educate concertgoers about the music they are set to hear. The San Francisco Opera offered more than 30 lectures, seminars, films, and exhibitions last year before the world premiere of John Adam's opera Dr. Atomic. San Francisco Performances was one of two U.S. venues that offered Midori's daylong contemporary music workshop that previewed her concert, given here in April. San Francisco Performance's Bob Greenberg regularly speaks about music, live and on CD; and the San Francisco Symphony employs a variety of experts to talk before sub- scription concerts. What difference do these preperformance events make to the concert- goer? Music@Menlo, the world-class chamber music festival currently under way at Menlo School on the Peninsula, operates on the assumption that they can make a huge difference. By showcasing its educational component, the festival gives concertgoers the opportuni- ty to immerse themselves for three weeks in this year's theme, "Returning to Mozart." The result is a superb example of the current trend, one that is conceptually innovative and fascinating in its details. Perhaps its most important quality is the way the presenters connect with their audience through humor and a passion for the music. These are not mere demonstrations of ego, but rather displays of reverence. The festival offers listeners two distinct ways to broaden the context of concerts.
