PERFORMANCES FOR 2014 SEASON – Mendocino Music Festival
Claire Lynch Band: Taking
Bluegrass to New Heights
BACHFEST DAY 3
JULY 15 ❱ 3:00 PM MENDOCINO
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Unaccompanied Suites
Claire Lynch wows with brilliant picking, a gorgeous voice, and
sophisticated, seemingly spontaneous composition.
Juncal Street: Homage to the
Flamenco Tradition
Three-time Isadora Duncan
Nominees for Most Outstanding Music, Ensemble and Individual Performance, Juncal
Street draws global inspiration from contemporary art
and dance.
Solo works for violin, flute, and cello in the beautiful acoustic
ambience of Mendocino’s historic Presbyterian Church.
A Cappella Fever
Local men’s Acafellas, women’s In the Mix, women’s trio River, and
SATB Sine Nomine sing music from four centuries, everything from
do-wop, to gospel, to hit tunes from the ‘40s, to madrigals.
The singers in A Cappella Fever all were inspired by the House
Jack's workshop last year. As House Jacks member Deke Sharon put
it, “You want to touch people's hearts, grab their souls, and take
them on a wild roller coaster ride through truth and beauty.”
The Festival is an enormous joy, which so enriches our life on the coast. It’s always a sad day when the tent
“comes
down at season’s end. ”

Musical Offering and Prutsman
Plays Bach
After a leisurely drive through Anderson Valley,
“I arrive
for my stay at Alegria Inn. I was told right
away that an Irish band would rehearse soon in
the living room and I was welcome. As the only
guest, I was amazed to find myself with five master
musicians as they tuned instruments and decided on
their set for that evening’s performance.
”
— Brian, Carmel

Stephen Prutsman plays and conducts the Festival Chamber Players
in the Clavier Concerto in D minor.

Kathleen Grace Band:

storytelling of the American
folk tradition.
Paul Hersh

Beethoven’s last violin and piano sonatas.

The Mendocino Music Festival gives us the
“perfect
reason to make the drive to the beautiful
Mendocino coast, to experience the calm, the
beauty, and the cool sea air, but especially, to hear
the music. World class performances by world class
musicians in a tent on the headlands. Among our
favorite moments include the two piano version
of John Adams “Hallelujah Junction,” a Bartok
piano concerto that shook the floor boards, a
symphony by Mahler, and performances by young
musicians who are just making their first big
marks on the international music scene. What
could be better than that? For so many years, the
Festival has nourished us and enriched our lives.
This summer, why not step away from the world
and join us in Mendocino for Music at the edge of
the world.

afternoon of great singing, with crazy-wild scatting and voices that

performed music in my lifetime. I came here
not believing that a small town could pull off a
sophisticated, high quality, thoroughly perfect music
festival. I was dead wrong. The 26 fine performances
are only the beginning. The concerts have that extra
quality which is pure joy. The setting is divine, the
Festival personal and accessible, and the directors are
amazingly hard working, selfless and exceptional.
As if that were not enough, one can attend orchestra
rehearsals. Who could ask for anything more? We
are so fortunate to have this rare thing in our town.
