Perhaps they heard a Brahms String Sextet, played by amazingly talented young players along with a member of a world-renowned string quartet. The group would have rehearsed and prepared the work for up to 30 hours over several weeks. Quite likely, the young musicians felt this performance at Marlboro was more exciting than playing at any major urban arts center. They had explored all aspects of this work, and could not wait to share their love of it with others. Those who have experienced this music-making understand firsthand why Marlboro is so important to musicians and such a vital player in our nation's cultural life.
Music is what really matters here.
If you haven't yet visited, we invite you to come to Marlboro, Vermont, and enjoy the wonderfully joyous and expressive music-making. You can listen to it also on CD or cassette.
