2800 Main Street | St. Helena
Festival Napa Valley’s 2025 Summer Season concludes with a symphonic program led by renowned conductor Stéphane Denève. Festival Orchestra Napa performs a suite from Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which brings Shakespeare’s beloved comedy to life through some of the composer’s most treasured works, including the lively Scherzo, ethereal Nocturne, and renowned Wedding March. Artwork inspired by the piece, created by students and seniors in the Festival’s year-round How I See Music workshops, illuminates the performance. The program also includes Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite, a vivid orchestral telling of the world’s most famous love story. This grand finale concert celebrates the power of music and storytelling, bringing the Festival season to an unforgettable close.
