Afestival 2014 Summer Guides

April 2014 Editor’s Note With this Special Report, we are returning to a timehonored Musical America tradition of previewing summer festivals. We’re taking a slightly different approach than in the past: the information has been provided by the festivals themselves, as submitted in answers to questionnaires we emailed to our list, culled mostly from the North American and International Festival Listings in the 2014 Musical America Directory. In addition to our request for dates, contacts, and ticket-price ranges, we asked about the coming season’s highlights, which, having poured over them all, I can say with confidence point to a robust summer season for . We edited for space only; otherwise, wherever possible, we left respondents’ answers intact. You’ll note that there are a few TBAs from festivals that assemble their schedules relatively late in the game. We will 2014 Summer add them to MusicalAmerica.com as they arrive. We launch the issue with a three-way interview led by our -based correspondent Wynne Delacoma, between Martin T:son [yes, that’s how it’s spelled] Engstroem, founder and executive director of the Verbier Festival in , and Alan Fletcher, president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School in Colorado. We chose these two because their respective operations have so much in common—both are professional presenters and at the FeStivAlS same time training programs for young artists, both have turned seasonal ski results into thriving, year-round tourist destinations. Our next Special Report, in June, will be devoted to music publishing. We’ll be examining the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of recent developments, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we hope our Summer Festivals Guide helps you selectively savor the sounds of summer. Regards, Susan Elliott Editor, Special Reports

That’s true in Aspen as well. Not to be a fly in the ointment, but these days, even if students “start somewhere,” there’s no guarantee they’ll get anywhere, given the job market.

I told her that, looking back, I’ve been rather proud of what the artists say, “I live in New York and all of these famous people live within 10 we’ve done together professionally. There were so many works she has learned blocks of me. But I don’t see them until I come to Aspen.” It’s just a very relaxed for Verbier—Brahms, Schumann, Mendelssohn—that she later picked up in her and sociable place. repertoire. She is notoriously difficult to get to learn new work. She played for the first time with Kissin, with James Levine, with Gil Shaham, with Vadim Repin, with I accompany the artists, follow them and try to be open. Gergiev has Maxim Vengerov, with lots of artists in Verbier.
