2007 Marlboro Music Festival

2007 Marlboro Music Festival Details
Release Date: Thursday, May 3rd 2007
For Further Information: Frank Salomon/Julia Lin – 212-581-5197

MARLBORO (Vermont) MUSIC SCHOOL & FESTIVAL
Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida, Artistic Directors

Weekend chamber music concerts at the legendary musical community, from July 14 through August 12. Saturdays at 8:30 pm and Sundays at 2:30 pm; also Friday, August 10 at 8:30 pm at Persons Auditorium, Marlboro College (10 miles West of Brattleboro, Vermont – Exit 2 off Route 91).

The most compelling and insightful music-making often occurs when master artists and exceptional young musicians explore works with unlimited rehearsal time, each generation inspiring the other. Vermont’s Marlboro Music School and Festival is one of those rare places where such happy collaborations take place regularly, as participating artists spend three to seven weeks studying pieces they themselves have chosen.

On five weekends between July 14 and August 12, the public will have a chance to hear a sample of those works that have gone especially well, with programs decided and announced just one week in advance. Devoted and enthusiastic audiences have flocked to the barn-like Persons Auditorium for over five decades, filled with anticipation about what and whom they might hear and ‘discovering’ many artists who go on to become leading soloists, founders and members of today’s major chamber ensembles, and orchestra principals around the country.

Marlboro’s current senior artists – including Artistic Directors Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida and members of the Guarneri, Juilliard and Mendelssohn Quartets – originally came to the Vermont musical community as young artists and credit it with being a vital influence on their musical development. Now they return to share their insights with a new generation, preserving the traditional Marlboro emphasis on serving the composer.

Information at www.marlboromusic.org or 215-569-4690 until June 13 or at 802-254-2394 from June 21. Programs announced one week in advance or join e-mail list at www.marlboromusic.org
