In Tuesday’s (2/27) Aspen Times, a staff-written article reports, “Aspen Music Festival and School released its program for the 75th anniversary season which will run from Wednesday, June 26 through Sunday, Aug. 18…. According to a news release, this season’s theme is ‘Becoming Who You Are,’ which will explore ‘Aspen’s impact on the musical and personal development of thousands of important musicians over the past 75 years.’ The season is set to honor its strengths, past, present, and future with events featuring alumni performers from the past 50 years, events that will feature artists discovered early and nurtured on Aspen stages, events that support new music, experimentation, and new composers, and events that spotlight stand-out works of genius. As always, more than 450 young artists from around the world will join the artist faculty, drawn from the major orchestras and music schools around the country, along with an array of guest artists for almost 200 public events in eight weeks.” The article lists detailed highlights of the coming season.
