2008 Encounter Leaders
Encounters, Music@Menlo’s signature series of full-length evening events led by an elite group of today’s most renowned musical authorities, illuminate the essence of the festival’s music through insightful discussion. Over the festival’s first five seasons, the scope of the Encounters series has greatly expanded, encompassing 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.
