Musicians from Marlboro I

Seating is limited. Reserve your seat in advance to pick where you sit ($6 fee per order). Join the standby line for remaining seats on the day of the concert, free of charge.
For 60 years, the Musicians from Marlboro touring program has brought memorable performances from Vermont’s legendary chamber music school and festival to national audiences. The first of three Marlboro touring ensembles this season is led by senior violinist Itamar Zorman, of the Lysander Trio. The program features Britten’s Phantasy for string trio and oboe, his first work to gain major international recognition, as well as Shostakovich’s introspective, sardonic, and elegiac String Quartet No. 8, a work dedicated to the victims of war and fascism. The program concludes with the youthful brilliance of the 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quintet in A Major.
The program features:
Britten: Phantasy Quartet, Op. 2
Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8, Op. 110
Mendelssohn: String Quintet in A Major, Op. 18
Artists include oboist Donovan Bown, violinists Clara Neubauer & Itamar Zorman, violists Hiroki Kasai & Ao Peng, and cellist Oliver Herber.
This performance is part of the Bill and Mary Meyer Concert Series.
