Music@Menlo Benefit Concert

Music@Menlo presents its annual Chamber Music Institute Benefit Concert and Reception, offering the opportunity to hear extraordinary alumni of the CMI in performance. By attending, you will help to raise vital funds for outstanding young artists launching their chamber music careers.
