We’ll see the uncut film (including the 21+ minutes missing from the abbreviated\, 49-minute version that got 32\,000+ YouTube views)\, and then enjoy a brief musical performance. \nWhat happens when an impeccably trained young German composer decides he wants a new audience? When a nice Jewish boy starts hanging out with a Marxist poet and a Viennese flapper? When the distinction between highbrow and lowbrow becomes irrelevant? Susan Waterfall and her team have created a film describing Kurt Weill’s life and work\, including a unique collection of both historic and contemporary performances of his songs. Weill communicated the soul and style of Modernity while he survived the sweeping historic changes of Weimar Berlin\, the rise of Hitler\, Paris in the early 1930s\, and Broadway in the 1940s. A Q&A with filmmaker Susan Waterfall will follow the screening. \nAfter a brief intermission\, we’ll be treated to a performance by mezzo-soprano Silvie Jensen and pianist Sarah Cahill of selected Weill works. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nBUY TICKETS URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/kurt-weill-screening-concert/ LOCATION:Preston Hall\, 44867 Main St.\, Mendocino\, CA\, 95460\, United States CATEGORIES:Chamber Music,Classical,Education,Lecture,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/kurt-weill-1050x830-1.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:20210409T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210409T131500 DTSTAMP:20210319T221133Z CREATED:20201009T222806Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210319T221133Z UID:10002633-1617969600-1617974100@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Hope Briggs: Rising Star Soprano DESCRIPTION:Jenny Matteucci and Daniel Lockert never fail to delight viewers with their lively\, informative and fun interview style; drawing out the personality of the guest artist while creating an engaging musical conversation. \nHope Briggs\, a native of New Jersey\, drew a rave review from Opera News for her San Francisco Opera debut as the Duchess of Parma in Busoni’s Doktor Faust. \nMost recently\, Hope sang the role of Lucinda in Opera San Jose‘s workshop of Jake Heggie’s newest opera\, Intelligence\, and made her debut with Reno Chamber Orchestra in Beethoven’s Ah!

DESCRIPTION:How do composers choose their texts? What draws them to a particular poem\, poet\, or poetic theme? Most composers of art songs have a strong love of literature and keen knowledge about what sort of texts attract them as a composer. When composers set poems to music\, the words take on a level of their own. They are encased in musical sound\, which adds its own pitch\, rhythm and texture. Join us as we explore this beautiful world of poetry in song\, and find out what inspires and motivates some of the greatest song composers\, from Franz Schubert to Oscar Hammerstein to Bob Dylan.  Jenny and Daniel will share some of their favorite songs\, texts and composers. The next vocal recital or choral concert you attend will take on a whole new meaning.\n\nGET FREE TICKET (required)\n\n \n January 22\, Noon PDT\, Christòpheren Nomura: Boyhood to BroadwayJenny Matteucci and Daniel Lockert talk with baritone Christòpheren Nomura about his journey from the San Francisco Boys Choir to Broadway\, and variou ...MoreSaturday\, November 21\, 5:00 PM PST\, Kim Nalley and Allan PollackJoin vocalist Kim Nalley and Artistic Director Allan Pollack as they discuss the history of jazz\, blues and pop singing.MoreNovember 20\, Noon PST\, Susan Waterfall: Debussy Préludes\, Book I[Part 2 of 2] With images and recordings\, Susan Waterfall will guide us into a deeper appreciation of the Debussy Préludes Book I.MoreNovember 13\, Noon PST\, Side Note (a cappella) Virtual VisitContemporary a cappella group Side Note will give a breakdown of how the group has run virtual rehearsal and recording during the pandemic.MoreNovember 6\, Noon PST\, Susan Waterfall: Debussy Préludes\, Book I[Part 1 of 2] With images and recordings\, Susan Waterfall will guide us into a deeper appreciation of the Debussy Préludes\, Book I.MoreOctober 16\, Noon PDT\, Text in Music: What about the Words?Join Jenny Matteucci and Daniel Lockert as they explore the beautiful world of poetry in song\, and find out what inspires and motivates some of the gr ...MoreSeptember 25\, Noon PDT\, Spencer Myer at HomeLive from his living room in New York\, pianist Spencer Myer gives us a glimpse into his insights and process\, including the nitty-gritty of practice. ...More URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/text-in-music/ LOCATION:Zoom\, Cyberspace CATEGORIES:Education,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/La-Contesse-de-Castiglione-et-la-Castafiore-600web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200925T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200925T120000 DTSTAMP:20201011T192019Z CREATED:20200911T072054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201011T192019Z UID:10002630-1601035200-1601035200@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Spencer Myer at Home DESCRIPTION:Pianist Spencer Myer has wowed\, inspired and touched Festival audiences many times\, and is a warm-hearted and engaging conversationalist.

What is German Lieder? Lieder is literally the German word for songs\, though the term is usually used in reference to German songs of the Romantic Period (19th Century) written for voice and piano. What makes Lieder unique is that the piano does more than merely accompany; it has an equal relationship with the voice and shares in the storytelling of the song. Join Jenny Matteucci and Daniel Lockert as they delve deep into an amazing tradition of songwriting\, and help you appreciate this often-misunderstood art form. They will play for you some of the greatest Lieder singers of our time\, and they’ll perform also. \nBook your complimentary ticket; you’ll receive an email reminder the day of the event. \n\nGET FREE TICKETS (required)\n\n \n \nIn 2017 Jenny Matteucci\, who has an extensive background as a performer\, choral director\, and voice teacher\, became the Festival Chorus Master; joined by her husband\, Daniel Lockert\, a marvelous accompanist and an outstanding language coach.

D. DESCRIPTION:Composer\, musicologist and pianist Kayleen Asbo\, the acclaimed cultural historian for the Santa Rosa Symphony\, will introduce us through lecture and performance to four of the most fascinating women from music history. Meet Hildegard von Bingen\, a Benedictine abbess of the 12th century whose art\, music and writings about nature contain revelations of wonder for our own time; Italian courtesan Barbara Strozzi\, whose ravishing works for voice and lute are models of intimate sensuality; the genteel Fanny Mendelssohn\, who was the musical colleague and soul mate of her famous brother Felix\, and whose own magnificent 400+ compositions (some published under Felix’s name) are only being rediscovered and published in the past few decades. Our afternoon ends with a performance of the music of the heroic Clara Schumann\, dubbed the “High Priestess of the Piano” by Franz Liszt\, a woman whose lifelong career as celebrated performer and teacher also encompassed the role of mother to eight children\, muse and champion for both her beloved husband Robert Schumann and her devoted friend Johannes Brahms.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \nKayleen Asbo is a passionate scholar: a cultural historian\, musician\, writer and teacher who weaves myth\, music\, psychology\, history and art with experiential learning. A faculty member of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for seventeen years\, Kayleen also teaches regularly for the Osher Life Long Learning Institutes at UC Berkeley\, Sonoma State University and Dominican University. Her classes on a wide array of topics ranging from Depth Psychology to Dante to Contemporary Classical Music have been hailed as “inspirational\,” “fascinating and compelling\,” “transformational” and “truly life-changing.” \nEducated at Smith College\, Mills College\, the San Francisco Conservatory\, Pacifica Graduate Institute and the University of California\, Kayleen wrote her Ph.D dissertation on Passion and Paradox: The Myths of Mary Magdalene in Music\, Art and Culture. Kayleen also holds three master’s degrees: one each in music (piano performance)\, mythology and psychology.
