Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be tickling the ivories Saturday afternoon at the Aspen Music Festival — an experience that will set audience members back $30 to $60.
Rice, who was once a piano student at the Aspen Music Festival and School, will perform the first movement of Dvorak’s Piano Quintet in A major and the second movement of Brahms’ Piano Quintet in B minor. Current students from the school will accompany her.
