Napa Valley Chamber Music Festival: Esplêndido - From Bach to Brazil

Music in the Vineyards 30th Anniversary Celebration promises an exquisite evening of music, dining, and festivities.

Our Festival Finale features the multi-faceted musician Clarice Assad, the Brazilian-American composer, pianist, arranger, and singer, from Rio de Janeiro. Clarice’s influences are diverse: she is influenced by popular Brazilian culture, Romanticism, world music, and jazz. Beginning with her take on J.S. Bach, Clarice, joined by MITV musicians, will also perform songs by Jobim and Piazzolla.

Following the concert, guests will enjoy dinner on the Inglenook terrace where they’ll have the opportunity to support MITV’s future by bidding on outstanding auction lots.

Auction lots will be listed in early July including details of how to participate in our 30th Anniversary Online Auction throughout the festival.

Hosted by Francis Ford Coppola and Inglenook in memory of Eleanor Coppola.
