Maestro Constantine Orbelian leads Festival Orchestra Napa and a stellar lineup of soloists in Seasons of Hope, an evening of works featuring stories of courage, sacrifice, and hope. Cellist Kristina Reiko Cooper and vocal ensemble Volti perform Lera Auerbach’s Symphony No. 6, Vessels of Light, a piece dedicated to the extraordinary heroism of Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese diplomat who saved thousands of Jewish refugees during World War II.

The program also features three spellbinding choral works by esteemed composer Gordon Getty: Shenandoah with soprano Lisa Delan, the world premiere of Annie Laurie, and the monumental Joan and the Bells, a work honoring the life and martyrdom of Joan of Arc with baritone Lester Lynch and soprano Melody Moore.
