Dreamers
The Aspen Music Festival and School in Aspen, Colorado, is many things. A terrific training ground for young musicians. A popular venue for classical all-star concerts. A place of inordinate natural beauty, nestled in the Colorado Rockies. But above all, Aspen is a place to follow one's dreams. As a young violinist, Mei-Ann Chen dreamed of being a conductor. In today's show, she leads a group with big dreams of their own, the all-student Aspen Philharmonic, in the Symphony No. 2 by Brahms.
