MARLBORO-The 2024 Marlboro Music Festival concludes this weekend with 10 ensembles performing works from four centuries, including the traditional Beethoven "Choral Fantasy" on Sunday, Aug. 11.
Co-Artistic Director Mitsuko Uchida on piano, celebrates her 50th anniversary at Marlboro - she first attended Marlboro as a junior participant in 1974.
Before Uchida and Marlboro's resident artists bring this year's festival to a conclusion, however, they will perform music by Boccherini, Bartók, Brahms, Britten, Schumann, and Bernard, as well as a "hypnotic, captivating" work for string orchestra by Composer-in-Residence Thomas Adès, who will also conduct the "Choral Fantasy."
Each performing ensemble includes senior and emerging artists and "represents the dedication to excellence and the search for compelling artistic discoveries that characterize all of the music-making at Marlboro," say organizers in a news release. A full list of artists and repertoire can be found on their website.
Some tickets are available for Friday evening's concert. Saturday's and Sunday's performances are sold out; a waiting list is maintained for returned tickets. All events take place in Persons Auditorium, on the Potash Hill campus in Marlboro.
Tickets are $20–$40 and may be purchased at marlboromusic.org. For more information and tickets, contact the Marlboro office at 802-254-2394 or info@marlboromusic.org.
