About the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont
Marlboro Music is acclaimed world-wide as an institution devoted to artistic excellence and to developing new musical leaders who illuminate all areas of music today. It is where the concept of having master artists play together with exceptional young professional musicians was born—initiating a dynamic new approach to learning.
Under the Artistic Direction of celebrated pianists Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida, it is, perhaps, the only place where leading musicians can spend up to seven weeks exchanging ideas, and rehearsing in depth nearly 240 works each summer.
Since 1951, generations of the world's most talented musicians have come together in the small town of Marlboro, Vermont (population 978) to share new perspectives and learn from one another, to inspire and be inspired. Participants are also drawn by the warm family atmosphere—where musicians, staff, their spouses and children share meals, seminars, chores and social events, creating a unique musical and human community.
After three weeks of intensive daily rehearsals, Marlboro presents a portion of its musical collaborations at weekend concerts, held from mid-July to mid-August. Audiences share in the infectious spirit of discovery—hearing exciting young artists, insightful interpretations of chamber music masterworks, and unfamiliar pieces—all played with great passion and joy.
Marlboro Music Making Classical Music History
Since its founding in 1951, Marlboro has transformed the world of chamber music and played a pivotal role in developing generations of new musical leaders. Marlboro was created by eminent pianist Rudolf Serkin - its Artistic Director until his death in 1991 - and co-founders Adolf Busch, Hermann Busch and Marcel, Blanche and Louis Moyse.
Over the years, Marlboro has been a vital gathering place and musical oasis for renowned concert artists, including Pablo Casals, Felix Galimir, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, Madeline Foley and Sandor Vegh; members of the Budapest, Galimir, Guarneri and Juilliard String Quartets and Beaux Arts Trio; leading composers; and many more.
Since the Guarneri String Quartet formed at Marlboro in 1964, participants have gone on to form or join such acclaimed ensembles as the American, Brentano, Cleveland, Emerson, Johannes, Juilliard, Mendelssohn, Miami, Muir, Orion, St. Lawrence, Takacs, Tokyo, Vermeer and Ying String Quartets; the Beaux Arts, Eroica, Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson, and Mannes Trios; TASHI; the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center; and other prominent festivals, series and summer programs.
Other Marlboro artists are now Principal Chair members of leading symphonic and opera orchestras world-wide, are among today's most sought-after recording and solo artists, or are acclaimed teachers at prominent conservatories and universities.
