Aspen Music Festival 2026

The Aspen Music Festival and School 2026 invites audiences into one of the world’s most inspiring summer celebrations of classical music — a place where artistic excellence, creative freedom, and the beauty of the Rocky Mountains exist in perfect harmony. From July 1 to August 23, 2026, Aspen transforms into a vibrant cultural retreat where internationally acclaimed musicians, rising young artists, and music lovers from around the globe come together for nearly two hundred performances in an atmosphere unlike any other.

Programme
Giuseppe Verdi: La Forza del Destino: Ouverture
Leonard Bernstein: Chichester Psalms
Ludwig van Beethoven : Symphony no. 9 in D minor "Choral", Op.125
Overview

The season’s final concert celebrates America’s 250th anniversary with a Leonard Bernstein masterpiece and culminates with a work that has been universally embraced as a beacon of hope and unity.

In December 1963, Bernstein was asked to compose a piece for the Cathedral of Chichester’s 1965 music festival using texts from the Psalms. From its premiere to the present day, Chichester Psalms has stirred audiences with its unique synthesis of biblical Hebrew verse and Christian choral tradition, expressing the composer’s deeply felt aspirations for peace and brotherhood.

Since his early twenties, Beethoven had wanted to write music for Schiller’s Ode to Joy, a glorified drinking song with a strong humanistic message. It had been ten years since he’d composed a symphony, and he was anxious to get on paper all the ideas that had been percolating in his imagination for thirty years. By the time of the work’s premiere, he was completely deaf. Although he beat time for the orchestra, the real conducting was done by someone else. At the end of the piece, he was still hunched over the score until one of the singers turned him around so he could see the applause he was unable to hear. This magnificent work takes us on a journey from darkness to light, building up to a transcendent and unforgettable finale. Performed by a lineup of remarkable soloists and Denver’s extraordinary Kantorei, the Ninth will remind you of the greatness and possibilities of the human spirit.
