# 10 In a series of concerts at Calderwood Hall

           For nearly 5years, the 

Musicians from Marlboro   touring program has served as an extension of Vermont’s Marlboro Music Festival, founded in 1951. The tours are noted not only for their joyous performances of both well-known masterpieces and unfamiliar works, but also for offering valuable experience to artists at the beginning of their careers. The touring ensembles have always given audiences a chance to hear the coming generation of major artists playing together with distinguished musicians. Early in their careers, the program introduced such pianists as Jonathan Biss, Yefim Bronfman, Jeremy Denk, Richard Goode, Murray Perahia, Andras Schiff and Peter Serkin, as well as members of numerous leading chamber ensembles. So, as the Washington Post, pointed out: You may not know the names of all the artists, but,“Musicians from Marlboro is a virtual guarantee of musical excellence!”

Founded in 1951 by three families, Marlboro brings together on the Vermont hilltop campus of Marlboro College leading musicians from all parts of the U.S. and many foreign countries for two months each summer. Both young professionals and mature artists come to the tiny town of Marlboro, Vermont at their own expense to exchange ideas and explore together in the depth not possible elsewhere the vast repertoire of chamber music in an informal and intimate setting, removed from the pressures of professional concert life. The legendary Pablo Casals, a principal figure at the Festival for many years, said, "I came expecting a school and found instead a temple of music."
