Join us for an extraordinary gala evening celebrating Andrea Bocelli, whose achievements as one of the world's great tenors are matched by his profound humanitarian impact. Beloved worldwide for his operatic and crossover performances, the multiple Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Award nominee is also the founder of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, which advances opportunities for children through education, music, and the arts. In recognition of his remarkable artistic, philanthropic, and humanitarian contributions, Bocelli will receive Festival Napa Valley’s highest honor, the Angels of the Arts Award.

Set amid the grandeur of Carolands Chateau, the evening begins with a reception followed by Voice and the Violin, an intimate performance featuring violinist Joshua Bell, soprano Larisa Martínez, and pianist Peter Dugan. Together with exceptional young artists, they will present a memorable evening of music before guests enjoy a gourmet dinner paired with some of Napa Valley’s finest wines.

This special evening benefits the Andrea Bocelli Foundation's Voices Of program, the Addiction Education Society, and Festival Napa Valley's Arts for All initiatives - honoring the spirit of philanthropy and artistic excellence that defines Andrea Bocelli’s legacy.

The evening honors the memory and charitable legacy of Dane Johnson and is generously supported by the Johnson family.

The performance is underwritten by the Uytengsu family.
