Come all jazzed up for this annual Napa Valley Opera House fund-raising gala. In the shade of majestic oaks and redwoods, a lawn reception and outdoor concert with the legendary Ramsey Lewis Trio will be followed by a gourmet dinner in the historic Carriage House at Charles Krug Winery. Led by David Reynolds, the evening will conclude with a live auction that will offer twenty-five tantalizing travel lots and parties, including twelve days in Turkey, exploring Istanbul and Antalya, and sailing the Turquoise Coast on a private gulet.

Pianist-composer Ramsey Lewis has been called "The Great Performer," an accolade reflecting a diverse talent and brilliant style in which his classical training and gospel roots are coupled with a love for jazz. Although he tours with more than 25 symphony orchestras in the U.S. and Canada, and performs internationally in concert and at festivals, the master pianist performs primarily at home and abroad with his eponymous trio, featuring Larry Gray on bass and Leon Joyce on drums.
