The Aspen Institute 1d ago

This immersive workshop — led by musician, composer and former Aspen Ideas Fellow Harold O’Neal — combines the art of storytelling with the emotional power of music, and does it with the inspiration and cooperation of the participants themselves. No musical experience is required; just bring your story, and we’ll provide the score. The Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 25-July 1, 2026 business and civic leaders, innovators and artists, fellows, scholars, and attendees from around the world gathered in the Rocky Mountains. Engaging discussions unified by the Festival’s theme “Declarations of Independence” explore the issues of today, challenge perceptions of the past, and shape our shared future. #AspenIdeas For more information about the Aspen Ideas Festival, visit https://www.aspenideas.org.
