This summer the Aspen Music Festival & School (AMFS) presents a virtual festival with new content presented over eight weeks. Events include recitals, teaching insights, panel discussions, seminars, and a live tribute to Music Director Robert Spano to celebrate his 10th year with the AMFS.

Many sessions are live with an opportunity to be in the moment with the performer; some offer the chance to ask questions via the chat function.

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.
