Immerse yourself in the composer’s world\, and enhance your experience of the many Debussy offerings in this summer’s Festival: the Festival Orchestra’s Afternoon of a Faun\, the Calder’s performance of the String Quartet\, Spencer Myer’s Pour le Piano\, and the two narrated chamber music concerts Breakfast with Chou-Chou and Sounds and Perfumes of Evening. \nWaterfall’s fascinating film offers you an overview of Debussy’s major works and relationships\, with over 125 photographs and images\, and excerpts from 18 works. You are guaranteed a pleasurable afternoon in the Belle Époque\, learning how Debussy’s beautiful and radical music gave birth to 20th century modernism. \nWritten and directed by Susan Waterfall.\nArt and photograph collection by Mina Cohen.\nFilmed and edited by Julian Pollack. \nThis virtual event is now available for replay without cost.\nENCORE! (replay)\n\n\n \n \nDebussy: 2022 Featured Composer\n \nFor 2022\, Susan Waterfall’s composer series will feature the innovative and influential Claude Debussy. Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime with narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Debussy’s work across the Festival. \nExplore the Series \nIf you’d like to familiarize yourself with some of this music in advance\, we recommend the following recordings and notes: String Quartet performance\,  String Quartet notes\, more String Quartet notes\, Afternoon of a Faun performance\, Faun notes. \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/debussy-film/ LOCATION:Zoom\, Cyberspace CATEGORIES:Education,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Picture1-sqcrop341web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220709T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220709T193000 DTSTAMP:20260424T071807 CREATED:20210522T200454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230213T181839Z UID:10002654-1657395000-1657395000@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Festival Orchestra 1 DESCRIPTION:Festival Orchestra with violinist Yevgeny Kutik\nMaestro Allan Pollack will open the Festival with The Phoenix\, his new composition that celebrates the victory of life over death and hope over despair.

The pandemic made that impossible these past two years\, and even now a cozy\, crowded dinner seems unwise. \nWe worked with the Geers to come up with a way to celebrate the season more safely\, by using the dining rooms as well as the beautiful outdoor areas. There will be a bountiful buffet\, plenty of places to sit if desired\, and wonderful wines. \nPremium wines generously supplied by Husch Vineyards. $75 per person. Space is limited. \nThe Ledford House Restaurant is located seven miles South of Mendocino on Highway One in Albion\, California. Its blufftop location on the Albion headlands allows panoramic views of the Pacific ocean and breathtaking sunsets. The restaurant reflects the provencal style of Southern France\, and accommodates 65 to 90 people in the elegance of two dining rooms where expansive windows allow the Pacific Ocean to become part of the decor. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a casual elegance\, both comfortable and sophisticated. The food has a strong Mediterranean influence with subtle drawings on Asian and Latin flavors grounded by a California style. The produce\, meat\, poultry and fish served come from farms\, ranches and fisheries guided by principles of sustainability. \nClick to Reserve Now URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/lapero-at-ledford/ LOCATION:Ledford House Restaurant\, 3000 CA-1\, Albion\, CA\, 95410\, United States CATEGORIES:Benefit Events,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/133926536_10159296751588541_1330916002287592775_n-web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220719T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220719T193000 DTSTAMP:20260424T071807 CREATED:20220220T025953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230213T190942Z UID:10002388-1658259000-1658259000@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Sounds and Perfumes of Evening DESCRIPTION:Debussy was interested in writing music that evoked feelings in listeners and in himself\, and these pieces showcase his ability to conjure the mysterious atmosphere of night\, moonlight\, and erotic love\, as well as the darker emotions of war and conflict.

Stephen Andrew Taylor’s “Seven Memorials” was inspired by a project of the artist Maya Lin\, to build a ‘last memorial’ to the extinction of species on our planet. With “Recombinant\,” by Wang Lu and Anthony Cheung\, and “Pianobells\,” by Zhou Long\, Cheng will interpret the works of Chinese composers now based in the United States. \nSee the program below\n\n\n \n \n \nFor 2022\, the Festival’s main stage is again temporarily transplanted from our signature Tent Concert Hall in Mendocino Headlands State Park to the beautiful\, iconic and historic 1938 Cotton Auditorium in nearby Fort Bragg.
