AMFS brings Pittsburgh Symphony to address end of summer lull

The Aspen Institute.

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs the third and final night of its series in Aspen this evening at the Benedict Music Tent.

 

The group is playing in the ninth week of music events from the Aspen Music Festival and School (AMFS).

 

It’s the first time this decade that an event has been held after students left over the last week.

 

Representatives from AMFS said it was part of their ongoing plan to help benefit the business community and maintain activity in Aspen.

 

Going forward, it might not necessarily be full orchestras. They carry a large price tag. It could be artists in residence, for example.

 

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs at the Benedict Music Tent at 6 p.m.
