Aspen Music Festival and School
The 73rd Aspen Music Festival kicked off Thursday. As has been the case every summer since 1949, the festival will offer classical favorites — but, this year, it will also feature an array of diverse musical styles you don’t normally associate with the classics.
Aspen Public Radio broadcasts live local and regional news throughout the daily broadcast of Morning Edition, exploring topics and issues which affect the lives and interests of those who live, work, and play here in the Roaring Fork Valley.
