ASPEN — The Aspen Music Festival has set the program for its Winter Music Artist Recital series. The series will bring four concerts to Harris Concert Hall between mid-February and mid-March.
The series opens Feb. 9 with pianist Jeffrey Kahane. The music director of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Kahane has played recent solo recitals in Aspen, Chicago and New York. In the 2005-’06 season, he performed all 23 Mozart piano concertos as part of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
Violinist Joshua Bell, a former student at the Aspen Music Festival and a strong draw at his frequent summertime appearances in Aspen, is set to perform Feb. 16. Swiss-born pianist Andreas Haefliger, another regular Aspen visitor, and flutist Marina Piccini perform in the series on Feb. 25.
The series concludes on March 14 with the Aspen debut of violinist Julian Rachlin, who will be accompanied by pianist Itama Golan. The 33-year-old Rachlin is a native of Lithuania who moved to Austria during his childhood, and became the youngest soloist ever to appear with the Vienna Philharmonic. Rachlin earned the 2000 International Prize of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana of Siena.
Patron and sponsor opportunities for the Winter Music series are available. Also, series subscriptions are being offered for a 13 percent discount from the single-concert price.
