The inaugural Winter Series presented by Music@Menlo will feature three Sunday afternoon concerts that will give listeners the chance to experience Music@Menlo's signature programming throughout the year.  Concerts will be held at the Center for Performing Arts at Menlo-Atherton, the Peninsula's new state-of-the-art concert hall.  The 495-seat venue, designed by Hodgetts+Fong Architecture and Design of Culver City, California, is acoustically ideal for chamber music and conveniently located in close proximity to downtown Menlo Park on the campus of Menlo-Atherton High School, 555 Middlefield Road, Atherton. 

This first Winter Series complements the world-class chamber music programming that distinguishes Music@Menlo's acclaimed summer festival. The three-concert series, featuring a stellar line-up of today's most commanding performers, offers a survey of three vital chamber music genres:  string quartet, two-piano duos and piano quartet.
