Alisa Weilerstein grew up going to the Aspen Music Festival almost every summer of her childhood. There, she learned about music and life, and made incredible friendships that she still cherishes. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear Alisa Weilerstein in concert and in conversation at the Aspen Music Festival.
