Aspen Opera Program and pianist Inon Barnatan

The 72nd summer season of the Aspen Music Festival is now in full swing, and we talk with Aspen CEO Alan Fletcher and programmer Asadour Santourian about what we can look forward to and how the season will differ from seasons past. We also caught up with pianist Conrad Tao, who first came to the Aspen Music Festival and School in his tween years as both a pianist and violinist. He talks about composing for violin and keeping up his chops on the instrument he no longer plays publicly, as well as the music he's playing in Aspen in his monumentally challenging recital on July 6. Tune in to Aspen Public Radio for Classical Music from Aspen weekdays now through August from 1:00-3:00 p.m., and our weekly interview program Festival showcase Fridays at 2:30 p.m.
