Summer Festival: The Glorious Violin

Presented by Music@Menlo

This summer marks a momentous occasion for Music@Menlo: the final festival under the Artistic Directorship of David Finckel and Wu Han. Tickets are now on sale for Redux, a celebratory exploration of chamber music which revisits themes from David and Wu Han's 24 years of leadership. 

The opening Concert Program, a nod to the 2017 season, unites two violinist-composers who were fundamental to that evolution: Antonio Vivaldi and Fritz Kreisler.
