31st Annual Napa Valley Chamber Music Festival
Reimagine. Transform. Renew.
This summer, alongside performances of your favorite pieces, we explore how music can be adapted: hear how changes in instrumentation or style can shed new light on the original and reveal hidden nuances and emotional depth. This fresh perspective breathes new life into familiar works. Both in music and life, change doesn’t mean discarding the past but reframes it in a way that keeps it meaningful and relevant. New approaches reinvigorate our lives, allowing us to see both art and opportunities in a new way.
Schedule:
11:00 am - Music Illuminated
Violinist Aaron Boyd is your guide through the rich history of the string quartet. From parlors to concert halls, discover how this iconic ensemble helped shape the course of classical music. Along the way, you’ll hear insider stories and meet the personalities behind some of classical music’s greatest masterpieces. Whether you’re a music connoisseur, student, or curious listener, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for one of chamber music’s most intimate and enduring forms.
