| 1978 | Six concerts were performed in the first season of Salida-Aspen Concerts. The concerts were so well received that performances were scheduled for the next year and have continued annually ever since. The idea was born when a group of Salidans contacted the world-famous Aspen Music Festival about bringing some of the musicians to the Arkansas Valley. Over the years, Salida audiences have heard emerging performers some of whom have become world famous such as violinist Gil Shaham, harpist Nancy Allen and opera star soprano Renee Fleming. |
