Florence Moore AuditoriumMenlo College1000 El Camino Real, Atherton, CaliforniaHeavy-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. The Saint Michael Trio shows you how he did it in one of their patented "informances" featuring slides, commentary and demonstrations of Debussy's compositional devices. Admission free but reservations required by emailing the Saint Mike box office.
