WELCOME TO THE 65TH SE ASON OF MARLBORO MUSIC

Welcome to Marlboro, and to the 65th summer in which musicians from around the world have gathered on this beautiful hilltop to form a collaborative artistic community. People often ask, with so much changing in our world, how Marlboro continues to provide experiences that mean so much to musicians and audiences alike. Some note the beauty of the countryside, the simplicity of the facilities, and the wonderful isolation from the distractions of everyday life. Others comment on a palpable spirit of generosity, on how our eminent artists explore music from all periods with their younger colleagues in the kind of depth, and with the freedom of time that are so rare today. There is also the caring and supportive family atmosphere, in which children, young adults, and elders share experiences on a daily basis for seven weeks. At the heart of Marlboro is a deep, abiding devotion to music. Chamber music, after all, teaches us to listen, to make multiple voices into one, to be supportive of our colleagues, and to give fully of ourselves — invaluable lessons for life as well as for art. We thank you for joining our community, and for your role in making this a place like no other.

WHAT IS MARLBORO’S ROLE IN AN EVOLVING MUSICAL WORLD?

Marlboro enables gifted musicians to achieve transcendent ends.


There is an ongoing dialogue about the state of classical music today. Organizations large and small are working to develop effective new ways to reach and engage audiences, to provide emerging musicians with innovative career pathways and opportunities, and to achieve sustainable means of support. These issues are critical to the field, and to the cultural life of our nation. As the conversation continues, it is vital also that musicians understand and can share with others what it is that is so compelling about this great art form, why for five centuries and counting it has had such a profound impact. Marlboro is devoted to that goal, to teaching gifted musicians how to achieve transcendent ends—performances infused with confidence, joy, insight, imagination and passion. Music-making that cannot help but touch and inspire others.

WHY IS THE IDE A OF MARLBORO SO VIBR ANT?

Marlboro “magic” is created anew each summer, with each musician contributing new ideas and fresh energy.


To the casual observer, it may seem that little has changed at Marlboro since its founding in 1951. It continues to provide leadership training through a focus on chamber music. It maintains a remarkable 65-year relationship with its host Marlboro College, on this lovely Vermont hilltop. It forms a community of musicians, staff, spouses and children young and old. It invites friends and audiences to share in the results of its music-making, and in its special mission and values. But longstanding family members, friends and patrons know better. Each summer this community invents itself anew, with new artists, new repertoire, new ideas and new musical approaches. The summer schedule is ever-changing, always reflecting what our Artistic Director and her senior colleagues feel are the most essential artistic and life lessons for the musical leaders of tomorrow to learn and absorb. It is a constantly-evolving search to fulfill timeless goals.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF A MARLBORO SUMMER?

In essence: time, artistic freedom, collaboration, family and communion with nature.


Here, in the beautiful countryside, musicians of diverse ages and backgrounds explore music in depth, in a way that is just not possible elsewhere. They step away from the daily routine and demands of their profession—the frequent travel, financial necessities, promotion and performance schedules—and step into a world built around great music and natural beauty. For seven weeks, the musicians at Marlboro become part of a nurturing family. They play not in order to perform, but to learn, to delve deeply into great works, and to share their love of music with like-minded colleagues. They choose the repertoire, and they decide if and when it should be performed. They share insights and experiences with one another at meals and social events, they are inspired by nature, and they form lasting friendships and strong musical bonds.

WHAT IS MARLBORO’S IMPACT ON YOUNG MUSICIANS?

For especially talented young players, Marlboro is both a destination and a journey.


It is a place where they can immerse themselves in music, meet eminent and emerging artists from around the world, request specific repertoire, test their ideas and those of their colleagues, utilize their talents to the fullest, and share the results of their work with others. Over the course of their time here, musicians regularly recount a transition from being highly skilled musicians to artists of enormous capacity and potential. They expand their musical imaginations, discover new repertoire, understand how best to get to the heart of a work, embrace more fully the spirit of sharing and collaboration in music—and in life, and develop their ability to communicate what they have learned with their colleagues and audiences.

HOW DOES THE PAST ENRICH MARLBORO TODAY?

Each summer, lessons in life and music are renewed, shared and passed down.


We owe a debt of gratitude to Marlboro’s founders, and to the many eminent artists, trustees, staff members, spouses and patrons who have lovingly dedicated themselves to this community and its ideals over the past six decades. Not only did they build a strong and respected institution, but they set a lasting example for all of us through their commitment, spirit of collaboration and generosity. Marlboro was created by immigrant artists who brought great European cultural traditions to our nation and to new generations of musicians. Our goal is not to preserve these traditions per se, but to learn the best lessons of the past and apply these, together with new ideas and fresh interpretations, to music today. As we contribute to the Marlboro legacy, we strive to maintain the standards of artistic excellence and integrity established by our predecessors, and to emulate their deep and abiding devotion to music.

HOW DOES MARLBORO INFLUENCE THE WORLD OF MUSIC?

Well into developing its third generation of leading artists, Marlboro’s vision continues to inspire.


The list of renowned soloists, chamber ensembles, orchestra principals, opera singers, composers, artistic directors and educators whose artistry and lives were deeply influenced and enriched by Marlboro is vast. Past participants are inspiring audiences, musicians and students throughout the world with their insights, talents, creativity and passion for music. The modest size of Marlboro belies its enormous impact. Like a research institute in the sciences, or a think tank for public policy, Marlboro is deeply embedded in the DNA of classical music and in leadership training in the arts. Its musicians, goals and organizational culture set standards for the field. Marlboro is a constant reminder that great music is essential to our lives, and that what we give to it can never equal what we receive in return.

ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN

Located in this beautiful rural setting, Marlboro does not have access to the type of local foundation, corporate and individual support that sustains most of our nation’s major arts institutions.
