HAYDN ON TRIAL!Stanford University
Dinkelspiel Auditorium
Stanford, California
Trivial? Mechanistic? Left-brained technician? Mere stepping stone to Mozart and Beethoven? In one of their trademark "informances" the Saint Michael Trio defends Franz Joseph Haydn against his critics, with the audience acting as jury. Admission free, but guests are encouraged to register in order to receive supporting material via email.

EUROPE'S MASTER IMPRESSIONIST: THE GENIUS OF CLAUDE DEBUSSYStanford University
Dinkelspiel Auditorium
Stanford, California
Heavy-handed, cantankerous, his personal life a wreck, he nevertheless wrote music of unsurpassed delicacy and refinement. Though he chafed at the label, he became music’s supreme impressionist in a twilight moment of European Culture. Saint Mike shows you how he did it in a special “informance” featuring slides, commentary and demonstrations of Debussy's compositional devices. Admission free, but guests are encouraged to register in order to receive supporting material via email.

THE SONATA, THEN AND NOW: HAYDN & SCHOENFIELDMontalvo Arts Center
15400 Montalvo Road
Saratoga, California
Both are highly formal in their structure, employing the sonata form. Both present their ideas in three movements, following an arc that goes from spritely to introspective to exuberant. And yet Haydn was writing at the dawn of Europe’s classical period and embodying the formalism of the new Enlightenment (1756), while Detroit native Paul Schoenfield's "Cafe Music" (1987) is expressing the whimsy and energy of the 21st century urban metropolis. The Saint Michael Trio will show how two utterly different composers use the same tools to express the sentiment of their age. Admission: $30.

DELINEATING BEETHOVENMontalvo Arts Center
15400 Montalvo Road
Saratoga, California
The opening notes from his 5th Symphony (da-da-da-dum) may be the most recognized four notes in music—so well known in fact that Beethoven is in danger today of being famous merely for being famous. In this special “informance” the Saint Michael Trio unravels the myths and mysteries surrounding the iconic composer, and performs the major milestones from Beethoven’s trio repertoire. Tickets: $30.

VIVE LA FRANCE!Montalvo Arts Center
15400 Montalvo Road
Saratoga, California
The Saint Michael Trio celebrates the special élan of the great French masters—Claude Debussy’s impressionist departures, the restraint of Gabriel Faure, even the inventive fusion jazz of Claude Bolling. Sit in the intimacy of the Montalvo villa and you’ll feel as though transported to a French chateau. Tickets: $30.

HAYDN ON TRIAL!Montalvo Arts Center
15400 Montalvo Road
Saratoga, California
Was he trivial and simplistic? Formulaic? A left-brained technician cranking out purely mechanical constructions? A mere stepping stone to Mozart and Beethoven? Franz Joseph Haydn (1732– 1809) has been accused of all of these things. In a special “informance” pitting the audience as jury, the Saint Michael Trio will defend Haydn against his critics in a courtroom-style drama incorporating slides, commentary, and demonstrations of Haydn’s compositional devices. Tickets: $30
