Aspen Music Festival

Aspen Music Festival, annual summer event, held in Aspen, Colo. A former silver-mining boomtown, Aspen fell into decline and was culturally revived by Walter Paepcke, who formed the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. The Aspen Music Festival and Music School were founded under the auspices of the Institute in 1949. Artists from all over the world come to teach and to perform in recitals, concerts, and operas.
