MARLBORO — Marlboro Music concludes its 72nd Season on Sunday, Aug. 13, with the traditional Beethoven Choral Fantasy - a work of profound joy in which every community member has a voice.
After a three-year hiatus and with Co-Artistic Director Jonathan Biss at the piano, the return of the Choral Fantasy is bound to be an emotional experience for musicians and audiences alike.
Before Biss and the Festival Orchestra and Chorus bring another Marlboro summer to a triumphant conclusion, Marlboro Music's resident artists will present nine more lovingly prepared pieces.
Over the course of the weekend, audiences will hear Samuel Barber's lyrical Dover Beach for baritone and strings; three masterworks by Brahms, including the famous Horn Trio and Clarinet Trio; string quartets by Beethoven and Berg; and much more.
Many outstanding senior artists - including horn player Alberto Menéndez Escribano; violinists Joseph Lin and Carmit Zori; violists Kim Kashkashian and Sally Chisholm; cellists Marcy Rosen and Peter Wiley; and pianists Anna Polonsky, Cynthia Raim, and Lydia Brown - will perform alongside Marlboro's talented emerging instrumentalists and singers.
Some tickets are available for the Friday, Aug. 11, and Saturday, Aug. 12, concerts, which begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $40 and may be purchased at marlboromusic.org or by calling the Marlboro box office at 802-254-2394(1).
Sunday's 2:30 p.m. performance is sold out; the box office maintains a waiting list for returned tickets. Audience members may contact the Marlboro reception desk for more information at 802-254-2394 or [email protected].
