Join the young artists and faculty of the Chamber Music Institute during the festival as they exchange ideas and prepare chamber music masterworks for the stage. The Institute’s master classes offer visitors the rare opportunity to witness the special exchange between artist and apprentice, and culminate in the festival’s series of Prelude Performances and Koret Young Performers Concerts.
Master classes are part of the “Mornings@Menlo” series, which takes place on festival weekdays at 11:00 a.m. on the Menlo School campus. The series also includes educational Café Conversations. All Mornings@Menlo events are free and open to the public – Seating is by general admission, reservations are not required.
Every summer, Music@Menlo invites a visual artist with ties to the festival theme. Their work is exhibited on-site, in festival publications, and on posters and cards available for purchase. This year, we are fortunate to be joined by prominent photographer and multimedia artist Mark Chen. Mark’s projections of celestial imagery on natural landscapes have been featured in National Geographic, and he has been an artist-in-residence at Grand Canyon National Park in 2023 and 2024.
On Monday, July 28 at 11 AM, Mark will take part in a Café Conversation discussion at Music@Menlo, exploring the inspiration and techniques involved in his creative process. The event will be curated by Maggie Dethloff, Curator of Photography and New Media at the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford. It is free and no tickets are required.
