Three Organizations Unite for an Eight-Concert Series Celebrating Sonoma Valley

Music in Place, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, and the Frank H. Bartholomew Foundation are excited to announce an inspiring eight-concert series curated by Dr. Aaron Lington, Artistic and Education Director of Music in Place.

The Sonoma Soirée Series ‘25 aims to raise awareness of each organization’s mission while inviting visitors and locals to enjoy first-class live music surrounded by the beauty, history and culture of Sonoma Valley.

Kicking off on January 25, 2025, the concert series will feature a lineup of talented musicians, from local favorites to renowned artists, in intimate concert settings covering a diversity of genres: Bluegrass, the music of Burt Bacharach, the Great American Songbook, the Latin side of Jazz, classical piano and a string quartet, and even some contemporary string Electronica. There will be something for everyone!

The concert venue will alternate between the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art (551 Broadway in Sonoma) and the Villa in Bartholomew Park (1990 Castle Rd in Sonoma).

Each program will not only showcase exceptional music but also highlight the unique contributions of the three organizations dedicated to enhancing the cultural and artistic landscape of our community. Complimentary wine, produced by Bartholomew Estate Winery, will be provided at each program.

“Music in Place is thrilled to be joining with the Museum and the Bartholomew Foundation to bring this high-quality concert series to Sonoma,” says Rodman Marymor, President of Music in Place. “We are grateful to the Sonoma Tourism Improvement District for their underwriting support to help keep the ticket price affordable.”

Linda Keaton, Executive Director and Chief Curator at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, added, “We’re excited about the opportunity to partner with Music in Place and the Frank H. Bartholomew Foundation. This collaboration is a great way to expand our audiences and broaden the arts and culture offerings in our community.”

Anna Pope, Co-Trustee of the Frank H. Bartholomew Foundation, emphasized the importance of collaboration among Sonoma Valley’s non-profit organizations to maximize community engagement. “With its beautiful acoustics, The Villa in Bartholomew Park is the perfect place to enjoy hearing these amazing artists. By participating in this exciting collaboration, we hope to raise awareness of the Foundation’s role in the stewardship of Bartholomew Park, and to inspire a deeper appreciation for its impact on our community.”
