ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SCHOOL
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Founded in 1949, the Aspen Music Festival and School is an internationally renowned classical music festival that presents world-class music in an intimate, small-town setting. It is also one of the world's premier training grounds for pre-professional musicians.
- Music Director David Zinman presides over the nine-week summer Festival that comprises more than 350 events, including orchestral concerts, chamber music, opera, contemporary music, master classes, lectures, and kids' programs. Concerts take place daily at the 2,050-seat Benedict Music Tent, an acoustically superior and award-winning permanent structure that made its debut in 2000, the beautifully restored Victorian Wheeler Opera House, the jewel-like Harris Concert Hall, and in churches and smaller halls around town.
