Composer and conductor Matthew Aucoin interviewed by Chris Mohr.

Composer and conductor Matthew Aucoin leads the Aspen Music Festival production of the fully-staged Mozart opera The Marriage of Figaro August 12, August 15 and August 17. Here is a recent interview with Aspen Public Radio's Chris Mohr.

Classical music reporter Chris Mohr has loved classical music since he was twelve. “And I owe it all to radio,” Chris explains. “I grew up in a farm town east of Cleveland. One day I turned on the local classical radio station. They were playing Vivaldi, and it was like the gates of heaven opened up to me!" Chris is also a composer, and is working on a 53-note-to-the-octave oratorio, "Melodies of the Shoreless Sea." This is his ninth summer working for Aspen Public Radio.
