Bouchaine Young Artists Concert: Alexi Kenney
11:00 AM
Prize-winning violinist Alexi Kenney, a Palo Alto native studying on scholarship at the New England Conservatory, returns to Festival Napa Valley after performing here in 2010. He wowed audiences and critics this past season at Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall, and in performances in Santa Fe and Cleveland. The New York Times praised his "beautifully phrased and delicate playing," while ClevelandClassical.com wrote of his "powerful musical magnetism." Kenney is poised to release his first CD (on CAG Records), featuring works by Schumann, Westhoff and others that he showcased at his Carnegie recital debut.

Free admission; however, tickets are required.

The pedigree of St. Supéry as one of the top wineries in Napa is unquestioned. With over 1500 acres of estate vineyards, charming grounds, culinary garden and French-inspired parq, the winery has a cachet that is hard to match.

At this delicious farm-to-table luncheon served under the arbor, guests will be treated to sumptuous food, beautiful vineyard views and the golden tones of the classical duo, Steel & Ivory. Lunch will be paired with a selection from St. Supéry’s trove of exceptional estate grown, bottled and produced vintages. Prior, all are invited to take an exclusive, brief tour of the art collection, under the expert guidance of CEO Emma Swain. Perfection.

Sarah Chang in Concert at Lincoln Theater
Piazzolla Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
6:00 PM

Superstar violinist and festival favorite Sarah Chang joins Festival Orchestra NAPA for a thrilling concert that includes The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires by the late, great Argentinean "new tango" composer Astor Piazzolla. Chang performs the piece – a marvelous fusion of tango and classical music – in an arrangement for solo violin and strings that quotes Vivaldi's timeless Four Seasons.

"Her gifts are at a level so removed from the rest of us that all we can do is feel the appropriate awe and then wonder on the mysteries of nature," The New York Times wrote about Chang, who made her New York Philharmonic debut at the age of 8 and over the last 25 years has performed with the world's greatest orchestras and conductors.

Festival Orchestra NAPA’s appearance is made possible through a generous gift from Tatiana and Gerret Copeland, proprietors of Bouchaine Vineyards
