ABOUT THE ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SCHOOL
Founded in 1949, the Aspen Music Festival and School is regarded as one of the top classical music festivals in the United States, noted both for its concert programming and its musical training of mostly young-adult music students . The typical eight-week summer season includes more than 400 classical music events—including concerts by five orchestras, solo and chamber music performances, fully staged opera productions, master classes, lectures, and children’s programming—and brings in 100,000 audience members . In the winter, the AMFS presents a small series of recitals and music education programs for local youth and families .
