Tickets for the 2024 Marlboro Music summer season go on sale on Friday, March 1, at 9 a.m. Performances take place from July 13 to Aug. 11 in Persons Auditorium on the Potash Hill campus in Marlboro.
At Marlboro, musicians "enjoy the rare and invaluable synergy of music, community, nature, freedom, and time," say organizers in a news release. For nearly two months, "exceptional young professionals - who are invited each winter following competitive auditions - " are joined by artistic directors Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss, other "world-renowned artists," and staff, spouses, and family.
Over the course of the season, some 200 chamber music study groups explore works of their own choosing, from the Baroque period to the present day. The musicians can read a piece once and then form another group, or continue to delve into it for many weeks.
Since the primary purpose of Marlboro is to learn, a group is scheduled to perform only if and when the musicians are ready and have achieved "extraordinary results."
As there are no pre-determined concert programs, however; the repertoire and personnel for each performance are announced only a week or so in advance. Organizers promise concert-goers will experience "unique interactions between generations of musical leaders, a fascinating breadth of repertoire, and a commitment - by all of our artists - to the highest standards."
This season's participant list can be found at marlboromusic.org.
Tickets are available at $40, $30, and $20, with seating assigned within each section. Visit marlboromusic.org for individual concert dates, or contact box office manager Patrick LaVecchia-Burke at 215-569-4690 or [email protected].
