(Excerpt taken from 'Wine Country This Week'.) It is a Summer Festival Like No Other... Each year Napa Valley Festival del Sole brings together an astonishing gathering of internationally celebrated talent, and the finest in food, wine and Napa hospitality – for an unparalleled cultural experience. The fourth annual Festival, which takes place July 17-25, features a roster of world-renowned artists that includes soprano Renée Fleming, violinists Sarah Chang and Nikolaj Znaider, pianists Leif Ove Andsnes, Antonio Pappano and Conrad Tao, jazz singer Dana Land, and Napa resident Robert Redford. The festival, renowned for its world-class concerts, exclusive receptions, lunches, dinners and art exhibitions, also includes another important tradition – giving back to the community. This year, the festival hosts three benefits and deepens its commitment to arts education and enrichment through the launch of the Bouchaine Young Artist Series. “The tremendous support we receive from the community is inspiring,” said Festival Director Richard Walker. “We are pleased to join forces with our partners to give back to causes important to all of us.”
