This summer marks a momentous occasion for Music@Menlo: the final festival under the Artistic Directorship of David Finckel and Wu Han. Tickets are now on sale for Redux, a celebratory exploration of chamber music which revisits themes from David and Wu Han's 24 years of leadership.As Music@Menlo entered its second decade, Johann Sebastian Bach became the ideal point of departure. By bringing Baroque music to its highest peak, Bach created a legacy that has inspired composers for centuries. This From Bach program traces that influence through works by Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Brahms, each drawing on Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and fugue. Completing the journey, John Corigliano’s poignant Fancy on a Bach Air pays tribute to Bach’s revolutionary contributions to the cello and its emergence as a solo instrument.PROGRAM Johann Sebastian Bach Three Fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I Joseph Haydn String Quartet in C Major, op. 20, no. 2, Hob. III:32 Sun Felix Mendelssohn Fugue for String Quartet in E-flat, op. 81 • String Sextet no. 2 in G major, op. 36ARTISTS Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, piano; Chad Hoopes, Areta Zhulla, violins; Matthew Lipman, Paul Neubauer, violas; David Finckel, Jonathan Swensen, cellos Viano Quartet: Lucy Wang, Hao Zhou, violins; Aiden Kane, viola; Tate Zawadiuk, cellotickets@musicatmenlo.org (650) 331-0202

Dementia After Dark: Why Sleep Falls Apart and Strategies to Restore Rest

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.jaegerreidmusic.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.jaegerreidmusic.com/</a> Some of the best discoveries are made by accident and that's what happened in the fusion of the musical talents of Judi Jaeger and Bob Reid. They unwittingly found that perfect harmony while standing next to each other at a music camp jam in the summer of 2015. Their musical spark quickly caught fire and was noticed by those around them - and the successful collaboration between Jaeger and Reid was born. Judi grew up near Montreal, Canada, where her world was filled with music; her mother and brother sang and played guitar and she listened to Leonard Cohen, Peter, Paul &amp; Mary, Pete Seeger and many others. She began her career as a performing songwriter as an expression of her loss after the death of her mother and has written songs for her local domestic violence prevention organization. Bob is a fourth generation Californian, and like Judi, Bob also grew up surrounded by music. Bob's Mom performed in coffeehouses in the 1960's, while his father was a gospel concert promoter. Bob has been a California Arts Council Artist-in the Schools, performed at the United Nations in New York, in concert, at festivals and in schools across the United States. His original songs have been sung by Pete Seeger, Bill Harley, Cathy Fink &amp; Marcy Marxer and many others. Bob was chosen by the Seeger family to perform at memorial concerts for both Pete and Toshi Seeger in New York. Bob has a keen eye for musicality, empowerment, appreciation of nature and social causes in his writing. Jaeger &amp; Reid have been performing around the United States, in Canada and France in a variety of venues, indoors and out, including house concerts. Download our Press Kit &gt; “The love between the singer, who sings the song well, and truly, and the audience, which has been waiting for the song, and knows it when they hear it, is a true love.” — Malvina Reynolds

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.tempestmusic.com/html/caliban.html" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.tempestmusic.com/html/caliban.html</a> Lief Sorbye and Jon Berger began performing together in 1993 when Jon first joined Lief's Celtic rock band of—now worldwide renown—Tempest. When performing in a more intimate setting, they pare down to a duo and combine the rich tones of acoustic instrumentation with a good dollop of the excitement and energy that is the trademark of a Tempest show. Caliban presents a delightful, eclectic blend of music on fiddle, mandola, mando-guitar, and accordion, filling a set with spirited dance-tunes and spellbinding ballads. Their repertoire consists of Celtic and British Isles material, as well as songs from Sorbye's native Norway. Featuring tight vocal harmonies and great instrumental skills, their show has a lively feel and a contagious sense of humor. Review—"...bursting with life and energy, hard hitting rhythms and intelligent instrumental work." - Oakland Tribune

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.
