Festival Napa Valley, in association with One Mind, will present its 2026 Music & Wellness Summit on July 10 at CIA at Copia. The one-day event will bring together leaders in music, science, and healthcare to examine how music supports mental and physical well-being.
Internationally recognized soprano Renée Fleming will deliver the keynote address. Fleming, a five-time Grammy Award winner and recipient of the National Medal of Arts, has been a leading advocate for the role of the arts in health, including her work with the World Health Organization and initiatives such as the NeuroArts Blueprint at Johns Hopkins University.
The summit will feature a series of lectures, case studies, and workshops led by researchers, clinicians, and artists. Sessions will include presentations by Aniruddh D. Patel of Tufts University, Chris Appleton of SocialRx, Dr. Indre Viskontas of the University of San Francisco and SF Conservatory of Music, Francisco J. Nuñez of the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, and Gary Muszynski of Orchestrating Excellence.
“The Music & Wellness Summit explores how integrating music into daily life and healthcare practices can enhance physical and mental well-being,” said Festival Napa Valley Vice President and Director of Education and Community Lissa Gibbs.
