Music Director David Zinman presides over the nine-week summer Festival that comprises more than 200 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. Many events are free, lawn seating outside the tent is always free, and other tickets range up to $57.
Aspen is also where the world's brightest young musicians come to study with the world's foremost instructors, where thousands of musical influences converge in a white-hot crucible of creativity. Year after year, the Music School has inspired young musicians to mature into some of the most brilliant and creative classical artists in the world, from New York to Paris, from Tokyo to Rome.
The Festival and School was founded by intellectuals and visionaries Elizabeth and Walter Paepcke of Chicago and is rooted in the lofty idea that it is the combination of art and nature that fosters the growth of the human spirit. Fifty-some years later, this guiding principle still informs every aspect of the organization.
Aspen Theatre, formerly known as Aspen Theatre in the Park, has a long history of bringing professional theatre productions and theatre training to the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. As the organization continues to grow, many accomplishments are completed each year. Come and enjoy the talents of local actors as they perform in a beautiful and well-tended little oasis by the river.
Freestyle Fridays
Wind down from the work week the way the locals do - on the green outside of Iguana's Bar and Grille - Aspen's favorite low-key chill spot. Kids cavort on the lawn while parents and friends relax, unwind and enjoy the surrounding beauty of Highlands. Bands begin playing at 5:30.
