This concert was originally scheduled for 2020 but was cancelled by the pandemic\, so the Festival Chorale is particularly excited (one might even say “jubilant”) to finally be performing this distinct and beautiful music. \nIn addition to Copland\, Dello Joio\, Gwyneth Walker\, and Randall Thompson\, the Chorale will perform gorgeous Mack Wilberg arrangements of traditional songs “Down to the River to Pray” and “Shenandoah.” Barbara Faulkner will join Daniel Lockert in the four-hand accompaniments for these songs\, and for the two Copland pieces. \nJenny Matteucci\, conductor; Daniel Lockert\, piano\nFestival Chorale members are: \n\nSoprano: Cynthia Frank\, Robin Knutson\, Kathy O’Shea\, Abigail Strock\, Laura Vague\nAlto: Cathy Boxell\, Jo Britton\, Deborah Farmar\, Evelyn Harris\nTenor: Joel Ginsberg\, Patrick Gomes\, James Sibbet\, David Strock\nBass: Jim Blanton\, Paul Friesen\, Jason Kirkman\, Randy Knutson\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. \nFestival 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.” \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

The Life and Times of Maurice Ravel DESCRIPTION:Join us for the exciting premiere of Susan Waterfall’s new film Maurizio! The Life and Times of Maurice Ravel. Immerse yourself in the composer’s world\, and enhance your experience of the many Ravel offerings in this summer’s Festival: the Festival Orchestra’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2; the Calder’s performance of his String Quartet in F Major\, the only one he wrote; Jeffrey LaDeur and Kindra Scharich’s performance of his song cycles\, Histoires Naturelles and Deux épigrammes de Clément Marot and his Valses nobles et sentimentales for piano; and the two narrated chamber music concerts The Lure of the Exotic and The Attraction of Modernism. \nYou’ve heard music by Ravel and probably loved it. You’ve heard random gossip about this secretive composer. Now’s your chance to experience Ravel’s life and music in its historic context. With contemporary art and photographs\, and 26 musical excerpts\, you’ll get an overview of a composer whose creative life spanned the voluptuous conclusion of the Belle Epoque\, the trauma of the First World War\, and the new paths to modernism that emerged in the 20’s and 30’s. 85 years after his death\, nosy biographers are still trying to understand Ravel’s mysterious private life\, as inscrutable as his music is irresistible. \nA Q&A will follow the screening. Thanks to Deborah Whigham and Gary Ratway for sponsoring this screening. \nWritten and directed by Susan Waterfall.\nArt and photograph collection by Mina Cohen.\nFilmed and edited by Julian Pollack. \nGET TICKETS\n\n\n \n \n2023 Featured Composer: Maurice Ravel\n \nFor 2023\, Susan Waterfall’s composer series will feature the innovative and influential Maurice Ravel. 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 Ravel’s work across the Festival. \nExplore the Series \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/maurizio/ LOCATION:Preston Hall\, 44867 Main Street\, Mendocino\, CA\, 95460\, United States CATEGORIES:Education,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/French-composer-Maurice-Ravel-c1928-1600web.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 Street Mendocino CA 95460 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=44867 Main Street:geo:-123.7972762,39.30529 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230714T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230714T140000 DTSTAMP:20260424T062124 CREATED:20230227T073057Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230313T224644Z UID:10003052-1689343200-1689343200@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Rehearsal\, Orch. 1 (7/16) DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend Festival Orchestra rehearsals in the Tent Concert Hall.

The band’s selection of heartfelt originals and carefully curated covers have featured tight harmonies and tasty string-band instrumentation. \nGwyneth Moreland\, a Mendocino County native\, was a teenager when the band was formed. She was immediately adored by Foxglove fans for her beautiful voice. Soon\, however\, Gwyneth would have fans that never heard of Foxglove as she developed her career as a singer-songwriter on the folk circuit from coast to coast. This has only made Foxglove richer as her songs have become part of the Foxglove lexicon. Gwyneth plays guitar and accordion. www.gwynethmoreland.com \nMorgan Daniel\, Gwyneth’s older brother\, has been playing guitar and writing songs since “the garage band days” in the 80s. He shares lead vocal and songwriting duties with Gwyneth. He is also a luthier (he built Gwyneth’s guitar). www.morgandaniel.com \nJohn Bush is an essential part of the music scene in Mendocino–if you’ve taken in live music on the coast over the past four decades\, you’ve likely enjoyed his musicianship. Foxglove’s followers know about his prowess on the fretless bass and his soulful voice\, but one might also have seen him playing drums\, guitar\, keyboards\, or even the saxophone in genres from jazz and prog rock to country and blues. \nWhen Booi Volk joined the band in late 2002\, what was “Moreland\, Daniel\, and Bush” became Foxglove\, and it’s been that way ever since. Booi first arrived with a mandolin. Then he showed up with a banjo. Then a guitar. Even a hand-pan. Whatever instrument he is playing conveys his sensitivity to the greater musical cause (and his sense of humor). From bluegrass to brazilian choro\, Booi brings it all to the Foxglove sound. \n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

The band’s selection of heartfelt originals and carefully curated covers have featured tight harmonies and tasty string-band instrumentation. \nGwyneth Moreland\, a Mendocino County native\, was a teenager when the band was formed. She was immediately adored by Foxglove fans for her beautiful voice. Soon\, however\, Gwyneth would have fans that never heard of Foxglove as she developed her career as a singer-songwriter on the folk circuit from coast to coast. This has only made Foxglove richer as her songs have become part of the Foxglove lexicon. Gwyneth plays guitar and accordion. www.gwynethmoreland.com \nMorgan Daniel\, Gwyneth’s older brother\, has been playing guitar and writing songs since “the garage band days” in the 80s. He shares lead vocal and songwriting duties with Gwyneth. He is also a luthier (he built Gwyneth’s guitar). www.morgandaniel.com \nJohn Bush is an essential part of the music scene in Mendocino–if you’ve taken in live music on the coast over the past four decades\, you’ve likely enjoyed his musicianship. Foxglove’s followers know about his prowess on the fretless bass and his soulful voice\, but one might also have seen him playing drums\, guitar\, keyboards\, or even the saxophone in genres from jazz and prog rock to country and blues. \nWhen Booi Volk joined the band in late 2002\, what was “Moreland\, Daniel\, and Bush” became Foxglove\, and it’s been that way ever since. Booi first arrived with a mandolin. Then he showed up with a banjo. Then a guitar. Even a hand-pan. Whatever instrument he is playing conveys his sensitivity to the greater musical cause (and his sense of humor). From bluegrass to brazilian choro\, Booi brings it all to the Foxglove sound. \n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

An Oakland native\, they are the offsping of Nigerian bassist/bandleader Babá Ken Okulolo and an American mom with a record collection of vintage jazz\, African\, R&B\, and salsa. Mentored by the Oakland Youth Chorus and the Young Musicians Program at UC Berkeley\, they then went on to UCLA’s Voice and Opera program while earning an honors degree in ethnomusicology. Yet they found themself gravitating back to jazz\, and were encouraged in that pursuit by jazz legend Kenny Burrell. Since their first album\, “Easy to Love\,” critics and audiences alike have fallen in love with their music.\nKalil has the gift! I know it when I hear it.
