Buena Vista Winery is this year\u2019s wine sponsor and on temperate nights, the glass doors of the hall will be opened directly onto the patio and guests will be encouraged to sip and mingle with the musicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also invited top young musicians from the best conservatories to participate in our Apprenticeship Program,\u201d adds cellist Tanya Tomkins, co-founder and Artistic Director, \u201cWe want to create an atmosphere of collaboration between experienced artists and new musicians, similar to what they do at the Marlboro Music Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlights will include Dutch violinist Vera Beths, playing her Stradivarius in the Schubert Cello Quintet; historical clarinet impresario Eric Hoeprich, playing clarinet trios by Haydn and Beethoven; and Elizabeth Blumenstock playing viola in Schubert\u2019s \u201cTrout Quintet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets can be purchased at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org\/concerts\">valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org\/concerts<\/a><\/strong> or by calling 1-888-596-1027 (phone purchases will incur an additional fee of $5 per event).<\/p>\n<p>About Valley of the Moon Music Festival.
