Encounter Lectures

Encounter I: Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, led by Michael Parloff

Jul 17 2026

Summary

A beloved tradition at Music@Menlo since the first season, Encounters are full-length lectures presented throughout the festival .

Led by a rotating selection of eminent musicologists, educators, and musicians, they delve deeply into aspects of each summer’s theme. Audiences come away with enhanced historical and musical knowledge, leading to a richer understanding of and engagement with the festival’s composers and their works.

This summer’s four composer-focused programs provide the perfect opportunity for the eloquent Michael Parloff to reveal the composers’ lives and explore their music. Bridging the Baroque and Romantic periods, their works played essential roles in the evolution of chamber music, from Bach’s intimate preludes and fugues to Schubert’s monumental Opus 100 Piano Trio. Parloff’s Encounters, always a highlight of the festival, are not to be missed, and this one celebrates the true source of our immortal repertoire: the composer.
