Celebrating 50 Years of Music in the Arkansas River Valley
For 50 years, we’ve been honored to bring classical music to the Arkansas River Valley—sharing world-class performances, nurturing local talent, and gathering our community through the power of live music. This milestone celebrates the musicians, supporters, and audiences who have made classical music an enduring part of life in our valley.
Join Us for a Special Free Community Concert
To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we are pleased to present a free community concert on July 11, 2026, featuring acclaimed violinist William Yeh with piano accompaniment. This special performance is our gift to the community that has supported Salida Aspen Concerts for five decades.
Doors open at 5:45 PM, with a pre-concert talk at 6:15 PM and the concert beginning at 7:00 PM at Salida High School Auditorium.
See the full Summer Concert Series and celebrate with us this season!
