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:20230618T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230618T143000 DTSTAMP:20260418T080641 CREATED:20230330T175313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230531T231325Z UID:10003109-1687098600-1687098600@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Festival Chorale: A Jubilant Song DESCRIPTION:The Mendocino Music Festival Chorale will perform a concert celebrating American composers\, including music by Aaron Copland\, Norman Dello Joio\, Gwyneth Walker\, and the lovely Frostiana by Randall Thompson. 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.

Think of orchestral works like Carnival of the Animals by St. Saens or Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev. In the field of vocal music\, the great lieder composers found inspiration in bird flight\, the galloping of horses\, or the tranquility of the gazelle. The Italian madrigal\, El grillo\, is a popular one about the cricket. British composer John Rutter’s “All Things Bright and Beautiful” is a newer setting of a familiar hymn text by Cecil Frances Alexander\, who is also known for her Christmas carol\, “Once in Royal David’s City.” Samuel Barber’s “The Monk and his Cat” is his choral arrangement of one of his “Hermit Songs\,” originally written for solo voice (premiered by Leontyne Price with the composer at the piano.) The two selections by Aaron Copland are also arrangements for chorus of his “Old American Songs\,” Two of William Blake’s most beloved poems\, “The Lamb” and “The Tiger\,” were given choral settings by two different composers. British composer John Tavener’s “The Lamb” was first performed by the King’s College Choir\, Cambridge as a part of their Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. It has been associated with Christmas ever since. Virgil Thomson’s “The Tiger” is a choral arrangement by the composer of a solo song for baritone and orchestra from his “Five William Blake Poems.” “Blackbird” by Lennon and McCartney is an acknowledgment of the plight of the African American\, with an ending exhortation to “Take these broken wings and learn to fly.” The two sets of “Animal Crackers” by Eric Whitacre are just that: crackers! They combine witty animal poems by Ogden Nash with clever choral writing to poke fun at “serious” classical music with delightfully silly sounds. \nIn this concert\, the Festival Chorale\, directed by Jenny Matteucci\, with pianist Daniel Lockert\, presents a menagerie of songs celebrating our four-legged and winged friends\, from hilarious to heartwarming. Festival 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\, Kathy Warner\nTenor: Joel Ginsberg\, Jason Kirkman\, James Sibbet\, David Strock\nBass: Jim Blanton\, Matt Evans\, Paul Friesen\, Jeff Grant\, 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 \nProof of completed COVID-19 vaccination\, including at least one booster\, is required\, and masks must be properly worn at all times while on event premises.

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:20220719T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220719T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T080641 CREATED:20220221T210830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230213T190826Z UID:10002398-1658235600-1658235600@mendocinomusic.org SUMMARY:Jackie Gage DESCRIPTION:Jackie Gage is a jazz singer whose velvety voice\, relaxed piano playing\, and uplifting songwriting straddle the worlds of jazz\, folk\, and R&B.

The virtuosic cast of 11 dancers and musician\, made up of leading performers in today’s Celtic music scene\, has appeared on the stages of Celtic festivals all over the world. \nThe StepCrew is a brilliant visual and musical display of the most talented dancers I’ve seen. It’s refreshing to see a performance of this style based on pure ability as the dancers are certainly nothing less than virtuosic in their respective styles. The first time I saw Jon and Nathan Pilatzke dancing with Cara Butler was the best thing I’d seen since sliced bread. Having worked with them for the last eight years has been a true tonic for The Chieftains. The StepCrew does not simply draw their audience in\, they take them by the hand and remind us what dance is meant to be about – fun.”- Paddy Moloney\, The Chieftains \nThe StepCrew is a show that very simply\, cannot be missed. The focus\, energy\, and sheer virtuosity on display from the entire cast is nothing short of mind-boggling. I have yet to encounter a dance show of such unique proportions\, seamlessly blending the best of three different percussive styles into what can only be called a tour de force. The StepCrew is truly one of the most exciting things I have seen in a long time.”- Jean Butler of Riverdance\, Dancing on Dangerous Ground \n\n\n\n\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.
