Aspen Music Festival and School
www.aspenmusicfestival.com
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 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.
