Lawn culture, outside the Aspen tent

The big venue at the Aspen Music Festival is a Teflon-coated fiberglass tent, hardy enough to withstand Rocky Mountain winters. We'll hear a couple of summer 2009 concerts under the Benedict Music Tent: violinist Adele Anthony and pianist Inon Barnatan (EE-nohn BARN-a-tun) play the Violin Sonata by Cesar Franck. And Andrey Boreyko leads the Aspen Chamber Symphony in Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8, the "Unfinished" Symphony. We'll also talk with some of the locals who like to sit outside the tent, and listen to concerts under the Rocky Mountain sky.
