Oppens served as music critic and primary program annotator for the Aspen Music Festival and School from 1957 to 1995. This master craftsman, born in 1910 in Hamburg, Germany, came to America as a refugee of World War II. Armed with a musical passion for classical works by Mozart, Bach and Brahms, Oppens traveled to Aspen to embark upon an impressive writing career actualized through the language of music. A journalist in his own right, Oppens wrote such insightful program notes on festival performances that some concertgoers even took them home. Oppens' writings weave together musical commentary with deep personal musings and multifaceted lyrical prose.
