Opus One Premieres with Festival Napa Valley Yang Bao’s “Sol One” for Piano and Orchestra with Immersive Sound Installation. The site specific composition by Festival Napa Valley’s 2023 Maria Manetti Shrem Daniel Brewbaker Composer Prizewinner, Yang Bao, imagines humans as an interplanetary species exploring the profound connections we share with nature, our planet, and our own existence. The live performance merges piano and orchestra with an immersive sound installation, transforming Opus One Winery into a monumental soundscape. Driven by Bao’s concept of “Infinity Music,” the composition mutates and refracts infinitely according to the progression of time and chance, inviting the audience to experience this work both linearly and spatially. Ming Luke leads Festival Orchestra Napa. This concert is a part of the California Festival, a statewide celebration of new music.
