Mid-July to mid-August
It was the noted violinist Adolf Busch who came up with the idea of establishing a
summer community for musicians that would free them from the pressures and restrictions of concert life.
Every summer since 1951, a group of artists from all over the world has gathered in
Marlboro, Vermont, to exchange musical ideas.
The Marlboro Music School, which holds an eight-week session each summer, is primarily
a place where students or those who are just starting out on their professional careers
can study contemporary and classical chamber music.
During the five-week festival, the general public has an opportunity to hear the results of
their collaborations.
But the primary emphasis at Marlboro is on rehearsing the works that the participants
themselves have selected, rather than on performing them for the public.
Although many noted musicians have been associated with Marlboro, perhaps the best
known is Pablo Casals, the world-famous cellist who conducted the Marlboro Festival
Orchestra and taught master classes there from 1960 to 1973.
