Aspen Music Festival: Festival Orchestra: Midori, Pictures at an Exhibition

Event Description

"Welcome back one of Aspen’s most illustrious alumnae and be swept away by the color and power of the orchestra in this varied program! The one and only Midori returns to Aspen for Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto. Bartók wrote the piece in 1938 as Hungary was forming an alliance with Nazi Germany, and it’s often heard as a musical farewell to his native land."
