Music in the Vineyards

Join us for an enchanting evening of classical music with the renowned Pacifica Quartet at the Music in the Vineyards festival. This special performance is scheduled for Wednesday, August 14th, 2024, at the picturesque Hudson House located within Beringer Vineyards, 2000 Main St, St Helena, CA 94574.

The evening will commence with a Pre-Concert Talk at 6:00 pm, offering insightful discussions on Dvorak in America, and the creation of his American quartet, led by Artistic Director Michael Adams. The concert itself will begin at 7:00 pm, featuring a meticulously curated program that includes:

- Louis Gruenberg's Four Diversions for String Quartet, op. 32, a piece that harks back to the composer's Lithuanian roots and his final years in Beverly Hills.
- Dmitri Shostakovich's Quartet no. 3 in F major, op. 73, a rare gem from 1936, crafted as a means for the composer to navigate the treacherous waters of Stalin’s purge.
- Antonín Dvořák's Quartet in F major, op. 96, "American", a signature piece that encapsulates Dvořák's experiences and observations during his time in the United States.

The Pacifica Quartet, composed of Simin Ganatra and Austin Hartman on violins, Mark Holloway on viola, and Brandon Vamos on cello, promises to deliver a performance that is as breathtaking as the vineyard setting itself.

Tickets are priced at $85, offering not just a concert but an immersive experience that includes the pre-concert talk, the stunning backdrop of the Beringer Vineyards, and the opportunity to engage with music education and outreach initiatives through Echo in the Vineyards.
