Music@Menlo’s twentieth-anniversary festival, Haydn Connections, takes place July 14–August 6, and we are delighted to announce this summer’s lineup of free, open-access master classes and Café Conversations.
Master classes feature the renowned artist-faculty and the extraordinary young artists of Music@Menlo’s Chamber Music Institute as they exchange ideas and prepare chamber music masterworks for the concert stage.
Café Conversations, Music@Menlo’s unique series of free and informal discussion events led by festival artists and distinguished speakers, offer audiences a forum to explore a wide range of topics relating to classical music, art, and culture.

Visual Arts at the Festival |

Each year, Music@Menlo showcases a visual artist whose work embodies the season’s theme and festival experience. For Haydn Connections, we are delighted to feature renowned local artist Simon Bull. Simon (born March 6, 1958) is an English-born artist living in Carmel. His brightly colorful artworks are inspired by nature, infused with joy, and embrace a wide range of innovative printmaking techniques.

California’s Central Coast is a source of limitless inspiration for Simon, with its vast array of landscapes, flora, and fauna. In 2017, he opened his MEUSE Gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea along with a second MEUSE Gallery location in St. Helena in 2019. For more information visit www.meusegallery.com.
