Highlights from Aspen
PT has had a memorable week at the Aspen Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado. Today, host Fred Child wraps up his stay there with two on-stage perfchats, music and conversation with several Aspen artists. Edgar Meyer plays one of his own virtuoso pieces for the double bass. And 14-year-old Simone Porter, an Aspen student violinist, wows the crowd with music by Sarasate.
