Aspen Music Festival and School aims to expand learning beyond exceptional musical instruction, empowering students to thrive both on and off the stage. Beginning in 2025, AMFS students will have access to a new educational offering: coaching with professional leadership coach Lisa Husseini.

With a diverse coaching background—including work with individuals and teams from nonprofits and education-based institutions like New World Symphony, Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute, MIT, Boston Symphony Orchestra, LA Phil, and the Sphinx Organization—Lisa brings a wealth of experience to the AMFS community.
