Mendocino Music Pre-Festival: Fauré in His World

Join us for the exciting premiere of Susan Waterfall’s new film, Fauré in His World. Immerse yourself in the composer’s world, and enhance your experience of the many Fauré offerings in this summer’s Festival: the Festival Orchestra’s performance of his Elégie; Jeffrey LaDeur and Kindra Scharich’s performance of his L’hiver a cesse; the Calder Quartet’s performance of his only string quartet; and the two narrated chamber music concerts, The Early Salon Years and Indian Summer.

Waterfall’s film explores the cultural milieu and creative life of Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) through art and photographs from his era and excerpts from all his major works.

A Q&A will follow the screening. Thanks to Deborah Whigham and Gary Ratway for sponsoring this screening.

Written and directed by Susan Waterfall.
Art and photograph collection by Mina Cohen.
Filmed and edited by Julian Pollack.
