Festival Napa Valley attracts some of the world’s finest musicians, who serve as faculty and coaches for the Academy. Performing chamber and orchestral music with renowned musicians is a distinctive part of the Academy experience at Festival Napa Valley. These are the past faculty who participated in 2020.
Academy musicians participate in chamber and orchestral concerts, workshops, sectionals, and a variety of professional development activities during the two week program, while enjoying the natural beauty and splendors of Napa Valley. All participants receive assistance towards housing, food and local transportation in Napa.
As Festival Napa Valley prepares to return to a live summer season, the health and safety of our artists, audience and staff is our highest priority. The size of the 2021 Academy class will be reduced, and all COVID protocols will be strictly observed.
