PT in Paradise - the Aspen Music Festival
All this week and next, host Fred Child will be at the Aspen Music Festival in Aspen Colorado. Performance Today will be coming to you from the studios of Aspen Public Radio. We'll have great performances from Aspen, and hear from the artists themselves what it's like to participate in the nation's largest classical music festival. Conductor Nicholas McGegan calls it "paradise." McGegan leads an A-list cast in a performance of a Vivaldi double violin concerto.
