The Aspen Music Festival is hoping to take the long-distance relationship it currently enjoys with New Yorkers to the next level--with a concert in New York at SubCulture on April 16.

Music lovers know that the 65-year-old Aspen Music Festival and School delivers world-class performances in a beautiful alpine setting, and that its storied music school turns out, generation after generation, some of the great artists of our time, from James Levine to Joshua Bell to Conrad Tao. Many even know that from its earliest days, the festival has been a hub for new music.

But knowing these things is one thing. Living them, feeling them, is another.

And so, in a historic first, the festival is bringing all this to New York--in 100 minutes. It will be, as its title suggests, "The Complete Aspen Music Festival and School (Abridged)." Abridged, because of course one cannot possibly put every piece of music from a two-month festival into 100 minutes (nor is it medically advisable to try).
