VC LIVE | Music@Menlo Chamber Music Festival and Institute Presents Concert Program IV: Romantic Twilight

Tune in here on Wednesday, August 23rd at 7:00 PM (ET) for a concert featuring works by Fauré, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, and Brahms

We're coming to you live from Music@Menlo, an internationally acclaimed chamber music festival and institute in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded by David Finckel and Wu Han as a program of Menlo School, Music@Menlo features unique immersive programming, a roster of world-class artists, and a Chamber Music Institute for emerging and pre-professional musicians. Intimate performance venues and signature offerings such as AudioNotes MP3s, Café Conversations, and the Encounter lecture series offer a wide range of opportunities for aficionados and newcomers of all ages to connect with chamber music in new and innovative ways.

This concert takes us back to the time period when the Romantic movement matured and music became more about art, nature, and experiences. During this period, the French rallied behind the sensuous music of their country, Russians told sad tales from their vast land, and Bohemians discovered the folk traditions of their countrymen. This concert features Romanticism and nationalist works.
