MARLBORO — Marlboro Music opens its 63rd season on the hilltop campus of Marlboro College with concerts on Saturday, July 13, at 8:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 14, at 2:30 p.m.
With pianist Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida as artistic directors, Marlboro offers resident artists the chance to explore works in a depth not possible elsewhere.
The pieces to be heard on the opening weekend will have had three weeks of rehearsal, including rarities such as Paul Hindemith's “Hérodiade,” conducted by Leon Fleisher, Schubert Part Songs, D. 609, 815, and 826, and Beethoven's String Quintet in C, Op. 29.
Saturday's program includes the Dvorák Piano Trio in E Minor Op. 90, (“Dumky.”) Sunday opens with the Beethoven Quintet followed by Leos Janácek's gripping String Quartet No. 1 (“Kreutzer Sonata”) and Dvorák's E Flat String Quintet, Op. 97.
Thirty-one artists will be heard in the two concerts, including some participating for the first time, those returning for their second or third summer, and others in the community with more experience.
