Performances
We curate eclectic and provocative programs that feature the endless creativity of our Artists in Residence.
2026 Vino & Vibrato
Sonoma County’s beloved summer concert series takes place over four evenings in August with wine tastings preceding each performance.
All concerts take place in beautiful Schroeder Hall at The Green Music Center (Sonoma State University).
The sixteenth season of pianoSonoma offers a dreamy landscape of music, plus a night at the ballet. Each program begins with one of the four Chopin Ballades performed by our four pianist Artists in Residence. Other highlights include Artistic Directors Jessica and Michael Shinn performing Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn for Two Pianos, Samuel Barber’s Souvenirs, gorgeous pieces by Amy Beach, Haydn and Kreisler piano trios, and the return of Riley Mulherkar and Peter Dugan performing their beloved jazz sets.
