SUMMARY:Mozart’s Così fan tutte
DESCRIPTION:Opera luminary Renée Fleming directs rising stars from Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS program in Mozart’s sublime—and some may say ridiculous—sex farce. See what unfolds when an old cynic makes a bet with two younger friends that their fiancées will be unfaithful. The plot may seem silly on its face\, but through the genius of Mozart’s music and DaPonte’s libretto\, you may discover deeper meanings and questions about the nature of love\, the conflict between reason and emotion\, and the consequences of idealizing others. Hear some of the most exquisite music ever written for the opera stage in the intimate and historic Wheeler Opera House!

SUMMARY:Pure Prairie League

From their roots in 1960s Ohio to their current lineup—featuring drummer Scott Thompson\, bassist Jared Camic\, keyboardist Randy Harper\, guitarist/vocalist Jeff Zona\, and pedal steel/saxophonist John Heinrich—the band continues to deliver high-energy performances and timeless sound. Their sound and style has been described as “sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Lindsay Lou
DESCRIPTION:“I saw a literal manifestation of the sacred feminine and had this profound sense that I was meant to embody it\,” recalls celebrated singer-songwriter Lindsay Lou after journeying through a hallucinogenic ritual that would inform the way she processed waves of grief in the sea of change ahead of her. The loss of her grandmother\, the end of her marriage\, and the overwhelming turmoil of COVID lockdowns found the Nashville-based artist on a spiritual journey of self-knowledge and healing with this gift from the mystic swirl. \n“Guided by life experiences\, Lindsay Lou’s sound and songwriting continues to evolve and intertwine her sturdy Bluegrass roots with progressive Americana and Folk.” – PBS \nOn her new album Queen of Time (due September 29th from Kill Rock Stars)\, Lou explores that quest across ten tracks of tender\, heartbreakingly beautiful music. With this new vision of womanhood in mind. \nThis event is presented by Roaring Fork Sessions.  \n

SUMMARY:Iris DeMent
DESCRIPTION:Iris DeMent brings her powerful new album\, Workin’ On A World\, to Aspen for an evening of unforgettable music and reflection. Known for her deeply moving voice—described by John Prine as “like you’ve heard\, but not really”—DeMent has long been one of America’s most respected singer-songwriters. Her music blends gospel\, hymns\, and old country traditions with a fierce commitment to truth and justice. \nWith a career spanning over three decades\, DeMent’s debut album Infamous Angel was recently named one of Rolling Stone’s “Greatest Country Albums of All Time.” Her follow-up records\, My Life and The Way I Should\, both earned GRAMMY nominations. She has received the Americana Music Trailblazer Award and her songs have been featured in films like True Grit and TV series such as The Leftovers. \nWorkin’ On A World\, her seventh studio album\, is a collection of 13 songs that confront today’s most pressing issues—climate change\, social injustice\, and personal loss—while offering messages of hope and resilience. Tracks like “How Long” and “Warriors of Love” pay tribute to figures like Martin Luther King and John Lewis\, while “Say A Good Word” and “Waycross\, Georgia” explore themes of compassion\, aging\, and healing. The album\, six years in the making\, was co-produced with Richard Bennett\, Pieta Brown\, and Jim Rooney\, and completed in Nashville in 2022. \nThis performance is a rare opportunity to experience DeMent’s music live—songs that serve as both balm and battle cry in uncertain times. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to her work\, this show promises to be a moving and memorable night.

It didn’t take long for the like-minded musicians to click. Over the next four years\, Leftover Salmon’s stage-left lit up as the two developed an undeniable musical chemistry. In their original collaborations\, they blend piano and banjo to create lush acoustic landscapes and classical-inflected forays. Their original songs dance between bluegrass\, jazz\, and folk\, while showcasing the musical connection and language that these two accomplished players have honed on stage over the years. \nLeftover Salmon banjo player Andy Thorn never expected to go viral. But in 2021\, he was in his backyard\, playing an improvised banjo tune to a wild fox\, when his wife caught the whole thing on video. The video made headlines around the world. Soon\, Andy was interviewed on the Kelly Clarkson Show and A & E’s Neighborhood Wars. Even NPR’s Political Gabfest discussed the video. A New York Times writer called it “a moment plucked from Aesop.” \nStunned by the publicity\, Andy finally recorded it (“Aesop Mountain”)\, along with 14 other banjo instrumentals. The resulting album\, “Songs of the Sunrise Fox\,” stands in contrast to the music Andy normally plays with Leftover Salmon. This album isn’t about the flashy banjo picking favored by jam bands. Instead\, it’s the banjo melodies Andy would play for his friend “Foxy” at sunrise. \n \nPianist and genre-bending sideman\, Erik Deutsch currently resides in Mexico City. Over the 30-year span of his career in Brooklyn and Boulder\, he has performed and recorded with pop\, rock\, country\, and jazz artists like Norah Jones\, Citizen Cope\, Shooter Jennings\, Shelby Lynne\,  Joe Russo\, Steven Tyler\, Ron Wood\, Lukas Nelson\, Levon Helm\, John Scofield\, Phil Lesh\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Bill Kreutzman\, Del McCoury\, Warren Haynes\, Karl Denson\, and many more. \nSince 2022\, Erik has been the full-time keyboardist for rock legends The Black Crowes\, performing on five different continents and being an integral musical contributor to their Grammy-nominated album ‘Happiness Bastards’. \nA prolific composer and bandleader in his own right\, Erik’s eight solo albums have received critical acclaim by RollingStone\, Jazz Times\, USA Today\, and the Huffington Post\, including Relix magazine naming Deutsch’s album ‘Outlaw Jazz’ the #16 best album of 2015. Recently voted the #5 Rising Star Organist in Downbeat Magazine’s annual poll\, and  recognized in consecutive years. Erik’s 9th LP—’This Was Then’—is due in July of 2025 on Hammer & String. \n \n
