Few composers match the brilliance, versatility, and humanity of Felix Mendelssohn. A prodigy, scholar, conductor, educator, and champion of Bach, he helped shape the musical world while inspiring generations of artists. The title Being Mendelssohn reflects the enduring appeal of a life so rich in achievement and curiosity. This program celebrates his spirit through a dazzling array of works that showcase his elegance, imagination, and remarkable genius.

Summer Festival: Being Mendelssohn

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

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.Music@Menlo’s inaugural festival presented chamber music as a living narrative, where it traces its evolution from the Baroque era to the present day. This Unfolding of Music program follows that journey in a single concert, from Telemann’s inventive concerto and Beethoven’s radiant “Spring” Sonata to Schumann’s imaginative variations and Bartók’s folk-inspired modernism. The journey culminates with the West Coast premiere of Sir Stephen Hough’s Piano Quintet, performed by the composer alongside the acclaimed Viano Quartet.PROGRAM Georg Philipp Telemann Concerto in D major for Four Violins, TWV 40:202 Ludwig van Beethoven Beethoven Violin Sonata in F major, op. 24 “Spring” Robert Schumann Andante and Variations for Two Pianos, Two Cellos, and Horn, op. 46 Béla Bartók Selections from Forty-Four Duos for Two Violins, Sz. 98 Stephen Hough Piano Quintet Les Noces RougesARTISTS Sir Stephen Hough, Hyeyeon Park, Wu Han, pianos; Aaron Boyd, Stella Chen, Jessica Lee, Arnaud Sussmann, violins; Dmitri Atapine, David Finckel, cellos; Kevin Rivard, french horn Viano Quartet: Lucy Wang, Hao Zhou, violins; Aiden Kane, viola; Tate Zawadiuk, cellotickets@musicatmenlo.org (650) 331-0202

Nick, the Le Cordon Bleu Paris-trained chef at AutoVino, crafts wood-fired chicken wings in a 900-degree oven for a perfect crunch and tender meat. They are among the best in town, making them an ideal pairing with Woodside Vineyards wine during Happy Hour.
🧀 INGE’S CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
Inge’s artisan boards feature a variety of salami, prosciutto, brie, cheddar, olives, nuts, crackers, and sweet jellies. They can be customized for any group size and pair well with Woodside Vineyards wines, including Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir.
