air-conditioned Playhouse. For program click

The Marlboro Music Festival - For a truly unique experience,
enjoy a repertoire of classical music that is often quite
magical in a setting that is always 'pure Vermont'. Each summer
for over 50 years, on a rural hilltop in Marlboro, Vermont,
master concert artists have gathered with exceptional young
professionals on the campus of Marlboro College. The senior
artists rehearse, learn, study and play side-by-side in chamber
ensembles with their young colleagues, passing on vital artistic
insights firsthand. The weekend concerts include just a few
of the 60-80 works in rehearsal each week. Marlboro Music
is led by its Artistic Directors, along with present and past
members of the Guarneri, Juilliard, Orion and Mendelssohn
String Quartets and Beaux Arts and Mannes Trios "Marlboro
was the place where I decided to become a musician. Living
through these summers, experiencing the great chamber music
literature for the first time, led me to a commitment to music
that I could not have received from one school or one teacher."
-- Yo-Yo Ma
