...rapture. One night jazz holds court, with Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald; another night the classical reigns, as that 20th century master Igor Stravinsky conducts his own Petrouchka suite, the Two Little Suites and Scherzo a La Russe. To add the final touch of diversity, the New York City Ballet will appear Aug. 6-11, performing two of George Balanchine's latest ballets. The greatest U.S. prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief, has just rejoined the company. ∙ASPEN (June 26-Aug. 25) is the headiest of the festivals. To begin with, it is 7,900 ft. above sea level amid...
