Exclusive: Aspen drops Chicago concertmaster and wife

Exclusive: Aspen drops Chicago concertmaster and wife

We understand that Laura Chen and her husband Robert have been removed from the Aspen Music Festival and School faculty after a number of parental complaints about comments made to students.

Robert Chen is concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is presently on sick leave.

Laura Chen is former assistant concertmaster at the Boston Symphony. They are major-league players in the US.

We have run the information about their dismissal past the Aspen authorities. They confirm to slippedisc.com that the Chens ‘won’t be joining us summer 2025’.
