Prelude Performances and Koret Young Performers Concerts

Join Music@Menlo for free, family-friendly afternoon and early evening concerts. Prelude Performances showcase the incredible talent of the International Program artists (ages 20–30), while Koret Young Performers Concerts feature the extraordinary Young Performers (ages 11–19) of the Chamber Music Institute. These events are a great way to introduce younger concert-goers to chamber music. Prelude Performances are shorter, typically without an intermission, and KYPCs showcase select movements from chamber music masterworks.

In response to the popularity of these events, a free ticket is required for all Prelude Performances and Koret Young Performers Concerts. Tickets can be requested at will call beginning one hour prior to the start of each concert or reserved online in advance on the day of the event after 9:00 a.m. Learn more about how to reserve your ticket.»
