ALBERT SCHWEITZER DAY
FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS

“The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.” – Albert Schweitzer

The community is invited to a series of free events in celebration of “Albert Schweitzer Day,” marking the anniversary of Albert Schweitzer’s visit to Aspen for Goethe Bicentennial Convocation in 1949, as well as the German polymath’s birthday. Schweitzer was a philosopher, musician, physician, theologian, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient whose seminal visit to Aspen helped lay the foundation for the community’s growth as a hub of culture and humanistic ideas.

Join partners for a series of celebrations including a special organ concert at Aspen Community Church and a talk and book signing at the Wheeler/Stallard Museum.

Events presented by Aspen Historical Society, Aspen Community Church, TACAW, Alchemy Charitable Foundation, Greg & Maureen Poschman, John Dougherty, Lachlan Forrow and The Aspen Institute.
