High Notes With Pianist Daniil Trifonov

Host and interviewer Alan Fletcher, president of the Aspen Music Festival and School, enjoys an informal chat with world-class pianist Daniil Trifonov, who will be playing Bach this Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. on the AMFS livestream.

Alan also talks with the director of the Strings Showcase program about the history of the program in Aspen, as well as how the string players  are continuing to learn and grow musically during this challenging summer.

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.
