“Great music and a chance to discover the stars of tomorrow.” —San Francisco Classical Voice
Music@Menlo’s Chamber Music Institute represents the festival’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of chamber musicians. Visitors to the festival can observe the young artists and faculty of the Institute exchange ideas and share in the timeless art of musical interpretation in various settings. At the festival’s daily coachings and master classes on the campus of Menlo School, festival artists guide the gifted young musicians of the Chamber Music Institute as they develop interpretive approaches and prepare works of the chamber music literature for the stage. These sessions culminate in the festival’s Prelude Performances and Koret Young Performers Concerts.
Each day of the festival (excluding Sundays) will feature either a master class with the Chamber Music Institute’s young artists or a Café Conversation. Master classes and Café Conversations are offered at noon on the campus of Menlo School. These events are free and open to the public. Please consult your festival program book or visit www.musicatmenlo.org during the festival season for a detailed schedule of master classes and Café Conversation topics.
