What Chamber Music in Napa Valley does
Mission
The mission of Chamber Music in Napa Valley is to provide world-class chamber music for local residents of the Napa Valley.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
In our 45th season, Chamber Music in Napa Valley presented ten concerts from November 2025 to April 2026, featuring Paul Lewis, the Takcs Quartet, the Jupiter and Jasper String Quartets, Garrick Ohlsson, Emanuel Ax, Yefim Bronfman, Cuarteto Casals, Louis Lortie, Benjamin Grosvenor, and the Vertavo String Quartet. More than 175 donors contributed almost $150,000, and our commitment to keeping concerts affordable and accessible means ticket sales make up less than 1/3 of the budget, with the balance carried by donors and the endowment. CMNV continued its deep support of new music this year, with commissions from Anders Hillborgs Piano Concerto, Marc-Andr Hamelin, Anna Clyne, and a co-commission from Clarice Assad with the Takcs Quartet, and a new arrangement of Dvork by Thomas Prechal.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.8M to $1.4M (−22%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.
