×

The final volume of the 2019 edition of Music@Menlo LIVE showcases a brilliant mosaic of musical voices that illuminated the twentieth century’s final decade. Composers had a myriad of influences in their ears, from the world’s folk traditions to rock and roll. While such luminaries as John Adams helped us process the traumas of the past, a new generation looked anxiously and eagerly to a dawning horizon. This final disc presents the uncompromising modernism, yesteryear Romanticism, and forward- looking audacity of music at the millennium.
