Performers
New Zealand-born violinist Geneva Lewis has forged a reputation as a musician of consummate artistry whose performances speak from and to the heart. Named a BBC New Generation Artist, Geneva is also the recipient of a 2022 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award and a 2021 Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Julia Yang is a courageous and soulful cellist, multi-faceted performer, and founding member of the Merz Trio, winner of the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Prize. Recently appointed principal cellist of the Colorado Music Festival, Yang also is on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania and College of the Holy Cross.
Praised as a “musically eloquent” player (San Francisco Classical Voice) with a “bewitching musical presence” (The Piedmont Post), Audrey Vardanega has performed as a solo and collaborative pianist across Europe, China, and the United States. She is the founder and artistic director of Musaics of the Bay, a nonprofit chamber music series dedicated to music mentorship in the Bay Area.
Venue
The Jackson Family Wines Amphitheater at the CIA at Copia is a unique and dramatic outdoor space overlooking the winding Napa River. The Amphitheater is a great venue for concerts, wine tastings, or company retreats. Hailed a “foodie wonderland” by The New York Times, the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) at Copia is an epicurean destination in downtown Napa, where guests can immerse themselves in the past, present, and future of food.
