Sitting in the shade in front of the round, hut-like Martin Family Hall where July 17’s Encounter I took place, I spoke with two Canadian participants of the International Program (IP) about their experience at Music@Menlo. “[Menlo] is very intense, because they train us for the professional world”, says cellist Amanda Chi. “Other festivals I’ve been to were longer and more laid back. [Here] they tell us what their lives are like, traveling around, flying to a place and immediately performing”. Typically, IPs start their day with 7:30 or 8 AM rehearsals followed by chamber music coaching at 9 AM.…

The smallness of the presenting ensembles and the intimacy of the venues shrink the distance between stage and house, allowing listeners to feel truly absorbed by the music. “We use…
