The Musicians from Marlboro touring program has been lauded as a “virtual guarantee of musical excellence” (Washington Post). Some of the most outstanding Marlboro performances from recent years share this program with compelling contemporary works by Longy composition faculty member Amy Beth Kirsten and past Marlboro participant Paul Wiancko.
Celebrating its 58th season during 2022-2023, the Musicians from Marlboro touring program was created as an extension of Vermont’s Marlboro Music Festival, founded in 1951. Musicians from Marlboro tours are noted not only for their joyous performances but also for offering valuable touring experience to artists at the beginning of their careers and touring with unusual chamber repertoire. Since their inception, the Musicians from Marlboro tours have introduced such great talents as Richard Goode, Yefim Bronfman, Jaime Laredo, Murray Perahia, Paula Robison, Sir András Schiff, Peter Serkin, Richard Stoltzman, and Benita Valente. They have boasted other exceptional artists now heard in the Emerson, Juilliard, Takács, and Dover Quartets, and Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trios. In the words of the Washington Post, “Musicians from Marlboro is a virtual guarantee of musical excellence!”
