Founded in 1951, the Marlboro Music Festival unites world-renowned musicians for two months each summer for an in-depth exploration of a vast repertoire of chamber music in the informal and intimate setting of the Vermont hill town.


“I came expecting a school and found instead a temple of music,” said the legendary Pablo Casals, a principal figure at the Festival for many years.


Musicians from Marlboro is the touring extension of the famous Vermont Festival with more than 25 artists taking time off from their regular performances and recording sessions to bring the exquisite chamber music concerts to cities around the country.


The concert is free for members of the Union community; $20 for general admission and $8 for area students. For tickets, contact (518) 388-6080; for more information, contact (518) 388-3651 or visit http://www.union.edu/ConcertSeries/.
