This year's pricing has been simplified! In addition to the Words & Music conference package, you may also chooseon an a la carte basis from a variety of luncheon and evening events, all of which feature music, food, and wine.

We do have package prices if you want to take in all of the events of Words & Music. Or you may buy a single ticket for a single event.
