Renowned for their infectiously joyous and passionate performances, select Musicians from Marlboro return to Memorial Chapel at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26. This is the 10th time musicians from the internationally recognized group have appeared in the Chamber Concert Series.

Violinist Augustin Hadelich

Violinists Augustin Hadelich and Karina Canellakis will play with violist Sebastian Krunnies, cellist Peter Stumpf and clarinetist Romie de Guise-Langlois. Together, they’ll present Haydn’s String Quartet in E flat, Op. 64, No. 6, Kodaly’s Duo for Violin and Cello, and Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet in B, Op. 115.

Since 1951, talented musicians from all over the world have come together in the small town of Marlboro, Vt., to learn from and inspire each other. Under the direction of celebrated pianists Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida, Marlboro is one of the only places leading artists can spend up to seven weeks rehearsing nearly 240 works together.

Following their time together in Marlboro, the artists perform in various combinations across the country. Concerts are held each year in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Greenwich, Conn., and Washington D.C. Other shows are given in Los Angeles, Chicago, Iowa City, Rochester, Buffalo, and Brattleboro, Vt.

The show is free to members of the Union community. General admission tickets cost $20, though area students can attend for $8. For more information, call 388-6080 or click here.
