Three time Grammy Award winning guitarist Sharon Isbin returns to Aspen for her immensely popular annual concert August 13 at Harris Hall, showcasing tunes from her new CD Romantico. She's joined by conductor Elizabeth Schulze and AMFS percussionist Jonathan Haas for a performance of the lushly lyrical and rhythmically joyous Miami Concerto. Last week, she and Elizabeth dropped by the Aspen Public Radio studio to chat about her recent guitar explorations.
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.
