Music at Kohl Mansion’s mainstage concert series was founded in 1983, and since 1992 its music education programs have reached over 120,000 K–12 students. Music at Kohl Mansion and Young Chamber Musicians have partnered in music education since early 2011 to present admission-free public programs. The organization states that from its inception it has considered music education for children a central part of its mission and that it presents world-class chamber concerts and music education in public schools on the San Francisco Peninsula. Its outreach programs provide access to interactive musical experiences for diverse audiences of all ages and are described as enhancing the quality of life of Bay Area residents and visitors by reaching individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Music at Kohl Mansion is the longest-running chamber-music-only presenter on the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula. The organization presents an annual international concert series featuring chamber music ensembles, and musicians and concert-goers have praised the acoustics and atmosphere at Kohl Mansion. The program notes that music-making engages the entire brain and that students with experience in the arts score highest on tests of creativity, expression, and problem-solving. It also notes that MAKM offers a 100% subsidy for schools in low-income communities to ensure equal exposure and access to arts education and that it depends on donations for a significant percentage of its operations, with ticket revenues covering only 30% of the cost of presenting performances and school visits.
The leadership team includes Patricia Kristof Moy, Executive Director; Molly Reidy, Associate Director; Filiz Kohli, Finance and Accounting Services; Lauren Estes, Education & Outreach Program Coordinator; Catherine Guglielmi, Development Manager; Jon Finck, Encore Communications 2.0, Publicity; Saskia Lee, Production Stage Manager; Richard Links, Recording Engineer; and Brandon Gregg, House Manager. Music at Kohl Mansion collaborates with professional musicians, arts organizations, K–12 schools, libraries, service organizations, community centers, and senior residences, and lists partners and supporters such as the San Mateo County Arts Commission/Arts Grants Program, Mervyn L. Brenner, Sam Mazza Foundation, Y & H Soda Foundations, Carlstrom Productions, Peninsula Jewish Community Center, San Mateo Public Library, and Mercy High School. Free Family Concerts at San Mateo Public Library are aimed at youth of all ages, families, and adult audiences.
