Encounter Leaders

Encounters, Music@Menlo’s signature series of evening-length events led by an elite group of today’s renowned musical authorities, illuminate the essence of the festival’s music through insightful discussion. Over the festival’s first seven seasons, the scope of the Encounters series has greatly expanded to encompass not only the historical context in which the music of the festival’s concert series was created but also the sweeping social, cultural, and technological trends that have shaped classical music at large.

Music@Menlo’s Encounters for the summer of 2011 will be announced in early spring. Please save the dates for Music@Menlo’s 2011 Festival: July 22 – August 13, 2011, and add your name to our mailing list to receive the latest updates. »
