Violinists and married couple Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony are soloing in three concerts this week. They'll be playing together in a recital Tuesday, July 29 at Harris Hall. Then, Adele plays Ravel at a Harris Hall concert Saturday afternoon. And on Sunday, Gil solos in the exquisitely romantic Bruch Violin Concerto live at 4:00 pm in the Klein Music Tent, which will be broadcast live on Aspen Public Radio. Here's a conversation APR's Chris Mohr had with the two virtuosi.
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 eight-week summer season includes hundreds of classical music events: concerts by four orchestras, recitals, chamber music, operas, classes, lectures, and family programs. In the winter, the AMFS presents recitals and robust music education programs for local youth and families, and in the summer the Aspen Music Festival and School host High Notes, lunchtime discussions featuring prominent performers, composers, and musicologists in lively discussions with AMFS President and CEO Alan Fletcher.
