Mission and programs · 2024

• THE ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SCHOOL (AMFS) IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE FINEST CLASSICAL MUSIC TRAINING AND PERFORMANCE CENTERS WORLDWIDE. PRESENTING MORE THAN 400 EVENTS DURING ITS 8-WEEK SUMMER SEASON, AMFS DRAWS LEADING CLASSICAL MUSICIANS FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR A RICH COMBINATION OF PERFORMANCES OF ORCHESTRAL WORKS, OPERA, CHAMBER MUSIC, RECITALS, CONTEMPORARY MUSIC, WORKS BY NEW OR PREVIOUSLY UNRECOGNIZED VOICES, FAMILY EVENTS, AND TALKS, COMPETITIONS, AND CLASSES. IN 2025, MORE THAN 450 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED. STUDENTS COME FROM 40 U.S. STATES AND 40 COUNTRIES TO STUDY AND PERFORM ALONGSIDE MORE THAN 135 ARTIST-FACULTY MEMBERS. AMFS'S DISTINCTION STEMS FROM THIS COMBINATION OF SEASONED PROFESSIONALS AND YOUTH AS COLLEAGUES AND CO-INSPIRING FORCES.

• A DEEP COMMITMENT TO ASPEN AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS REFLECTED IN THE DOZENS OF EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES THAT AMFS OFFERS THAT ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC DURING THE SUMMER SEASON. A SIGNATURE SUMMER LESSON PROGRAM TAUGHT BY AMFS STUDENTS (PALS), EARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSES SUCH AS TUNES AND TALES, AND ANNUAL FAMILY CONCERTS BRING HIGH QUALITY, ENGAGING MUSICAL EXPERIENCES TO FAMILIES AND STUDENTS OF ALL AGES. FROM FALL TO SPRING, AMFS ENGAGES YOUNG AUDIENCES WITH POPULAR IN-SCHOOL AND AFTER-SCHOOL LESSONS, CLASSES, IN-SCHOOL CONCERTS, WORKSHOPS, AND PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2025, SEPTEMBER TO MAY PROGRAMS SERVED MORE THAN 500 CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE ROARING FORK VALLEY.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
