The christened label and blend known as “Coro\,” named and inspired from the Latin root for “chorus” is the first wine of its kind to set blending and aging parameters for a wine distinctive to its region in the United States\, bringing together the best of Mendocino County grapes and wine. \nThe wineries participating include Barra of Mendocino\, Brutocao Family Vineyards\, DNA Vineyards\, Clos du Bois\, Graziano Family of Wines\, Greenwood Ridge\, Golden Vineyards\, Jaxon Keys\, McFadden\, Parducci and Testa. Join us for nibbles and a taste of these extraordinary wines. \nRound out those robust flavors with tasty bites using Mendocino County resources: locally caught salmon\, Roundman lamb sausages and more! Pork terrine served on dark rye; lamb sausage bites with grilled onions and peppers; pork rice balls; salmon cubes with toasted wild fennel seeds from the Mendocino coast; Buffalo cauliflower “wings” with blue cheese dip; grilled zucchini and feta toasts. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n Every Coro wine is a signature blend\, individually crafted in Mendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes\, in strict accordance with the Consortium Mendocino Bylaws. Each Coro wine must lead with 40-70 percent Zinfandel and may be blended with up to nine named varietals\, honoring the “Old Italian” field blends of Mendocino. Production must adhere to strict protocols set by Consortium Mendocino. In addition to the varietal parameters\, there are strict rules concerning wine chemistry\, and barrel and bottle aging before the release of this extremely limited case production. \nAs a final test\, the Coro wines must pass a review by a panel of winemakers in four blind tastings before the wine is accepted and certified to carry the Coro Mendocino label. Once certified\, each Coro wine is bottled in a uniform bottle\, label and marked with the Coro seal. These are the only wines in the USA and\, we believe\, the world that adhere to such stringent quality rules.\n \n \n\n\n\nClick to Reserve Now URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/coro-wine-tasting-2019/ LOCATION:Hill House Inn\, 10701 Palette Drive\, Mendocino\, CA\, 95460 CATEGORIES:Benefit Events,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Coro-2013-Bottles-IMG_2909transparent.png ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.3103634;-123.7986396 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hill House Inn 10701 Palette Drive Mendocino CA 95460;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10701 Palette Drive:geo:-123.7986396,39.3103634 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190712T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190712T210000 DTSTAMP:20200129T075545Z CREATED:20160317T070001Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200129T075545Z UID:10002368-1562954400-1562965200@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Sostenuto: A Celebration of Sustainability 2019 DESCRIPTION:Sostenuto 2019: From Memphis to Motown\nFriday\, July 12\, 2019\, 6-9 pm\nAt the spectacular oceanfront home of Linda and Fedele Bauccio.\nCelebrate all that the Festival represents—music\, sustainable food\, art\, and nature\,\nwith a sumptuous al fresco dinner prepared by Bon Appétit Management Company\nand local organic wine provided by Frey Vineyards.\nClick to Reserve Now \n\n\nIn music\, Sostenuto means to sustain.

There will be pretty little tables\, delicious pastries\, and a lot of great music. Flowers\, too. Jenny Matteucci will conduct the Festival Chamber Chorale\, and Daniel Lockert and Susan Waterfall will play the duo-piano accompaniment\, plus the marvelously dramatic Hungarian Dances\, No. 1 in G minor\, No. 4 in F minor\, and No. 10 in E Major. Daniel will play Intermezzos Op. 118 No. 1 and No. 2\, plus the Ballade Op. 118\, No. 3. Ana Lucas will sing two duets with Jenny: “Weg der Liebe” and “Die Meere.” Jenny will sing the gorgeous “Dein Blaues Auge.” \n \nThe Liebeslieder Waltzes are love songs written in the popular Ländler style of the day; a sort of wild\, down-home precursor to what became the more upper-class waltz. Brahms meant the pieces to be performed in informal home gatherings\, rather than in concert halls. The sixteen short “waltzes” range from bittersweet longing to joyous exuberance\, and the 4-hand piano accompaniments are glorious in their own right. Susan Waterfall says: “The music is so marvelous—exactly what Brahms loved when he wasn’t tearing his hair out trying to reconcile the past and future of classical music.” \n\n\n\n\n \n \nThe Mendocino Music Festival Chamber Chorale\, directed by Festival Chorus Master Jenny Matteucci\, was formed in 2018 as an offshoot of the much larger Festival Chorus\, members of which were invited to audition. \nAccording to Festival Artistic Director Allan Pollack\, “I’ve been touched by the dedication of the members of the Festival Chorus\, and so have wanted to create an opportunity for people who are ready to take their choral singing to the next level.” Festival Chorus Master Jenny Matteucci reports\, “It is a joy to work with a group of singers who are willing to do the hard work on vocal technique in order to make increasingly excellent and inspiring music together.” \nMembers are Randy Knutson\, Pamela Hudson\, Linda Perry\, Cynthia Frank\, Robin Knutson\, Ana Lucas\, Elaine Wing Hillesland\, Evelyn Harris\, Jo Britton\, Cathy Boxell\, Jason Kirkman\, John Dixon\, Jim Blanton\, Eric Hillesland\, Andria Richey and Paul Friesen. \n\n \n \n\n\nGreat news: A generous donation toward this fundraiser has allowed us to drop the ticket price!\nClick to Reserve Now URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/brahms-liebeslieder-waltzes/ LOCATION:Preston Hall\, 44867 Main St.\, Mendocino\, CA\, 95460\, United States CATEGORIES:Benefit Events,Classical,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Waltz-Was-Once-Viennas-Forbidden-Dance-1600web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.30529;-123.7972762 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Preston Hall 44867 Main St. Mendocino CA 95460 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=44867 Main St.:geo:-123.7972762,39.30529 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190425T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190425T210000 DTSTAMP:20200129T075210Z CREATED:20160317T070031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200129T075210Z UID:10002393-1556215200-1556226000@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:MacCallum House Winemaker's Dinner with Navarro Vineyards 2019 DESCRIPTION:A perfect pairing: scrumptious food from MacCallum House’s celebrated chef Alan Kantor and elegant wines from Navarro Vineyards.

For the past 25 years\, she has conducted choirs for the Diocese of Oakland and for the Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre’s Broadway Chorus\, a group of 100+ singers of all ages\, singing the music of Broadway.

It connects us with our memories and our histories and can transport us both physically and spiritually to another time. Cooking for me is about bringing people together and nurturing them in the most primal of ways. Cooking is far more than a profession or a hobby; it is a passion that infuses everything from the ingredients I select\, to the time and attention I put into menu planning and presentation of the finished product. Food also connects us to the Earth\, which is why I strive wherever possible to use local\, wild crafted and sustainable ingredients. I have cultivated relationships with local purveyors to insure that everything I prepare is fresh and life enhancing.” —KarinasCatering.com\n\nWines by Harmonique\nHarmonique makes three different styles of gracefully aged Anderson Valley Pinot Noir wines and a Un-Oaked Chardonnay. Originating as a partnership between Bruce and Moira Conzelman and winemaker Robert Klindt\, its name\, Harmonique\, recognizes a desire to create wines that harmonize with many foods and evoke a sense of their Burgundian heritage.\n\nGenerously sponsored by Pamela Hudson Real Estate\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nClick Here to Reserve Online Now URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/big-time-in-little-river-2018/ LOCATION:Little River home of John and Kathy Danhakl\, 45650 Headlands Drive\, Little River\, CA\, 95456 CATEGORIES:Benefit Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Big-Time-in-Little-River_1000x241.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.272481;-123.799117 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Little River home of John and Kathy Danhakl 45650 Headlands Drive Little River CA 95456;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45650 Headlands Drive:geo:-123.799117,39.272481 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181107T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181107T203000 DTSTAMP:20181011T213827Z CREATED:20131022T190935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181011T213827Z UID:10002147-1541610000-1541622600@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:MacCallum House Dine-Out 2018 DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself and your friends to an evening in the cozy ambiance of the beautiful MacCallum House Restaurant and Gray Whale Bar.

It’s as if a vocalist from the great post-war blues and jazz combos had been transported to the end of the century.” -Blues Access Magazine \n“Kim Nalley has pipes to burn and works the stage like she means it.” -San Francisco Chronicle \n“Sultry voiced Kim Nalley brings an irresistibly sexy sense of swing\, rhythmic dexterity and beautiful sound to the classic\, with her crisp diction and playful delivery of earthy lines.” -Down Beat \nAwarded “Most Influential African American in the Bay Area” in 2005 and “Best Jazz Group” in 2013\, vocalist Kim Nalley is already being called “legendary” and “a San Francisco institution.” No trip to San Francisco is complete without seeing Kim Nalley perform. With an international reputation as one of world’s best jazz and blues vocalists\, she has graced concert halls from Moscow to Lincoln Center. A true Renaissance woman\, Kim Nalley has also been a featured writer for JazzWest and SF Chronicle’s City Brights\, shortlisted for a Grammy nomination\, a produced playwright\, a former jazz club owner\, an accomplished stage actress\, a PhD candidate in history at UC Berkeley\, and an avid Lindy Hop and blues dancer. Her many philanthropic endeavors include founding the Kim Nalley Black Youth Jazz Scholarship. \nVisually\, Kim Nalley exudes the aura of a diva from a bygone era. Vocally\, she has pipes to burn\, packing a 3 1/2 octave range that can go from operatic to gritty blues on a dime\, projection that can whisper a ballad yet is capable of filling a room with no microphone\, and the ability to scat blistering solos without ever losing the crowd’s interest or the intense swing. She has been compared to all the greats\, but in the end\, it’s Kim Nalley and no one else—an unforced instrument with clarity and jazzy musicality\, effortlessly delivered\, and a sense of humor to boot. \nA born singer from a family that boasts several generations of jazz musicians\, Nalley was taught piano by her great-grandmother and studied classical music and theatre in high school before relocating to San Francisco in the footsteps of the Grateful Dead. Working her way through college by singing in small dives and jam sessions\, Nalley learned all of the intricacies of jazz the old fashioned way. Music critic Phil Elwood and San Francisco Symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas quickly discovered Kim Nalley and brought her to national attention after they noticed her singing nightly at the Alta Plaza to packed audiences&mdask;without amplification. Tilson Thomas hired Kim Nalley to sing a program of Gershwin with the San Francisco Symphony and recorded her farewell concert at the Alta Plaza. \nSince then\, Kim Nalley has performed globally\, including major jazz festivals such as Monterey\, Umbria Jazz and Lincoln Center and lived in Europe for several years before returning to San Francisco to re-open the jazz club Jazz at Pearl’s. During her tenure from 2003 to 2008\, Nalley raised the club to iconic international acclaim as the owner and artistic director. \nShe has collaborated with artists such as Rhoda Scott\, David “Fathead” Newman\, Houston Person\, James Williams\, Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony. She has recorded several on both major and indie labels\, including She Put A Spell On Me\, which was short-listed for a 2006 Grammy Award\, and Million Dollar Secret\, which charted in the Jazz Top 40. \nNalley often combines music and history to create historiographical concerts \, including her award-winning “Ladies Sing the Blues*\,” “She Put a Spell on Me: Tribute to Nina Simone\,” “Freedom’s Song: Music of the Civil Rights Movement\,” musical director and curator for the Martin Luther King Institute’s Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and “The Heart of Lady Day\,” a Billie Holiday biopic. As a playwright she has written “Ella: the American Dream” a bio-musical about Ella Fitzgerald which premiered in 2008. As an actress she portrayed Billie Holiday in the dramatic play “Lady Day in Love\,” Blues Speak woman in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Spunk” and has starred in Teatro Zinzanni as Madame Zinzanni\, a role subsequently filled by Joan Baez and Sandra Reeves-Phillips. \nKim Nalley is on faculty at the California Jazz Conservatory.

It connects us with our memories and our histories and can transport us both physically and spiritually to another time. \nCooking for me is about bringing people together and nurturing them in the most primal of ways. Cooking is far more than a profession or a hobby; it is a passion that infuses everything from the ingredients I select\, to the time and attention I put into menu planning and presentation of the finished product. \nFood also connects us to the Earth\, which is why I strive wherever possible to use local\, wild crafted and sustainable ingredients. I have cultivated relationships with local purveyors to insure that everything I prepare is fresh and life enhancing. \n\nIn the unique home and noted garden of Deborah Whigham and Gary Ratway\nDeborah Whigham and Gary Ratway\, owners of the renowned Digging Dog Nursery\, have offered their uniquely gorgeous home and their stunning private garden to the Festival for this party. The garden was featured (10 pages and the cover) in Martha Stewart Living and many other publications\, including Pacific Horticulture and Gardens Illustrated. Recently it was included as one of 50 gardens in the newly published Garden Conservancy book\, Outstanding American Gardens\, and is the subject of a ten-page spread in the Spring 2018 issue of Garden Design. Gary and Deborah will treat guests to an informative guided tour of the garden\, showing how plants can provide structure\, making for year-round form and beauty.\n\nRESERVE NOW URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/fabulous-fall-fandango-2017/ LOCATION:Home of Deborah Whigham and Gary Ratway\, 31101 Middle Ridge Road\, Albion\, CA\, 95410\, United States CATEGORIES:Benefit Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/PamPenick_DiggingDog_BoxwoodHedge_web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.206801;-123.717655 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Home of Deborah Whigham and Gary Ratway 31101 Middle Ridge Road Albion CA 95410 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=31101 Middle Ridge Road:geo:-123.717655,39.206801 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
