We invite you once again to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of artistry and excellence at the MARLBORO MUSIC FESTIVAL. Each summer on a rural hilltop in VERMONT, master concert artists join for seven weeks with exceptional young professionals on the campus of Marlboro College where they rehearse, study and play together as one musical family. We will also have the opportunity to enjoy the landscapes of New England, with its charming villages, country stores, restaurants and museums.
