How I See Music is an experiential learning program designed by Festival Napa Valley. In 2023, nearly 800 Napa Valley residents ages 5 to 95 created imaginative artwork in workshops conducted in schools and senior activity centers as a response to a deep listening of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, selections of which you see projected onscreen tonight.
