medici.tv to livestream 5 concerts from the 75th Anniversary Season of the Aspen Music Festival and School, making the prestigious event available worldwide

(Paris, July 2024) – medici.tv, the world’s leading classical music channel, is thrilled to announce a special series of broadcasts in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Aspen Music Festival and School. From July 10th to July 14th, 2024, audiences worldwide will be able to stream five live concerts for free on medici.tv extending the reach of the United States' most prestigious classical music festival.

Established in 1949, the Aspen Music Festival and School has become a cornerstone of classical music in America, renowned not only as a performance venue but also as a premier training institution for emerging musicians. Each summer, the festival hosts hundreds of events over an eight-week period, including orchestral concerts, recitals, chamber music, operas, educational classes, lectures, and family programs. As the festival celebrates its diamond jubilee in 2024, medici.tv is proud to connect viewers with the pinnacle of Aspen's musical excellence.

This collaboration is a comeback to medici.tv’s roots, as 2008 was both the launching of the streaming platform, and the first time being live from the Rockies. Returning to Aspen for this milestone anniversary feels like coming full circle, reaffirming medici.tv’s continued fulfillment to bring the best of classical music worldwide to music lovers everywhere.

We’re thrilled to be streaming multiple concerts with three of Aspen’s most illustrious alumni — Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis, and Jeremy Denk — who will team up for chamber works by Fauré as well as the Beethoven “Triple” Concerto; and we’re honored to promote the work of American composers like Peter Lieberson, whose gorgeous “Neruda Songs” (written for his wife, the great mezzo Lorraine Hunt Lieberson) will be conducted by Aspen’s music director Robert Spano and performed by Kelley O’Connor, a gracious champion of this cycle in recent years.

In addition to our live streams, medici.tv will offer a priceless glimpse behind the scenes at Aspen through five featurettes that will highlight the deep mentorship and creative connections that happen uniquely in Aspen.
