Artistic Director Daria Adams curates a one-hour program of four pieces by living composers, whose works look back in some way, then weaves them together with their historical counterparts. This leads to some fascinating juxtapositions, such as a song by Hildegard von Bingen from 1100 A.D with a work for strings and harpsichord by Michi Wiancko from 2021. Daria has paired Elizabethan ­era songs by John Dowland, Italian madrigals by Gesualdo, and a Bourree by J.S. Bach with modern counterparts by Wiancko and Caroline Shaw.

The Nutcracker

Sol One is a site-specific composition by Yang Bao that imagines humans as an interplanetary species exploring the profound connections we share with nature, our planet, and our own existence. The live performance merges piano and orchestra with an immersive sound installation, transforming Opus One Winery into a monumental soundscape. Driven by Bao's concept of "Infinity Music," the composition mutates and refracts infinitely according to the progression of time and chance, inviting the audience to experience this work both linearly and spatially. Ming Luke leads Festival Orchestra Napa.

How I See Music is a program of music-driven listening and painting workshops for Napa County K–12 students and seniors.

In 2022, Antonin Dvořák’s New World Symphony was the vehicle for teaching deep listening skills combined with abstraction in visual art. More than 550 Napa Valley residents aged 5 to 95 participated in workshops at schools and senior activity centers, creating colorful and imaginative artwork depicting what they “see” in music. A selection of these original works are were displayed on a giant screen during the the Opening Night performance of Festival Napa Valley 2022 – and are on display in this 2023 video installation.

Twin siblings Harper and Cole Randolph picked up instruments during kindergarten, and their paths diverged only slightly: cellist Cole studied math, music performance, and economics at the University of Wisconsin before joining the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, while violist Harper earned her music degree from the University of Michigan and was awarded third place at the 25th Annual Sphinx Competition, Senior Division. The Randolph twins take the stage for an inspiring concert as part of Festival Napa Valley’s Novack Concert for Kids program.

Twins often have uncanny similarities — Harper and Cole Randolph, for example, share exceptional musical talent. They picked up instruments during kindergarten, and their paths diverged only slightly: cellist Cole studied math, music performance, and economics at the University of Wisconsin before joining the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, while violist Harper earned her music degree from the University of Michigan and was awarded third place at the 25th Annual Sphinx Competition, Senior Division. The Randolph twins will share something else at Festival Napa Valley — the performance stage for this Bouchaine Young Artist concert.
