2023 Artist Exchanges

Artist Exchanges give audience members a chance to gain insight into the lives and minds of a pianoSonoma Artist in Residence and to give each of their performances more personal context. This year’s Artist Exchanges will be led by cellist Anita Graef and violinist Doori Na.

Artist Exchanges will take place in Schroeder Hall and are included as part of that evening’s concert ticket.
