Concert Program III: Midsummer Night Dreams
The fantastical air of Mendelssohn’s incidental music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s enchanting reverie, has placed it among the composer’s most beloved works. “Midsummer Night Dreams” resets this music as a prism to reveal the broad swath of musical styles found in Ligeti’s puckish Six Bagatelles (composed more than a century after Mendelssohn’s death), Schumann’s chimerical First Piano Trio, and the kaleidoscopic Nonet for Winds and Strings by Mendelssohn’s close friend Louis Spohr.

The Mendelssohn String Quartet Cycle: Program II
Featuring the Pacifica Quartet
The Pacifica Quartet, named 2009 Ensemble of the Year by Musical America and winner of the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance, makes its Music@Menlo debut with its signature interpretation of Mendelssohn’s complete string quartet cycle, an essential component of the composer’s chamber music literature. The Mendelssohn cycle demonstrates the composer’s lifelong fascination with this integral chamber genre, spanning his creative career from his youthful precocity to his ephemeral final creations.
