We think the 2022 summer is one that would have made the founders of the Aspen Music Festival and School, Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke, proud. Following a world-wide crisis—this time a pandemic, not World War II—devoted musicians and supporters surmounted numerous challenges to come together again around music and in it find joy and a heightening of the human spirit.
The dedication on all sides, the courage to show up, do it differently, take a leap in unknown circumstances, and dig deep—these are what made the summer’s musical and human experiences possible and brought beauty back to Aspen.
We are proud to share this report of not only coming back with vigor, but of growing and adding important new pursuits. In all that we did in 2022, we both honored our roots and responded to our times dynamically and passionately.
We deeply thank the Board of Trustees, our entire family of donors, a brilliant faculty and community of musicians of all ages, the volunteers, staff, and entire community of Aspen, without whom this would not have been possible.
