Meet the Artists

Each summer, Marlboro gathers some 80 exceptionally talented instrumentalists and singers of widely varying ages, backgrounds, and points of view. New musical leaders are joined by eminent concert artists from around the world who live together on the rural Marlboro campus for seven weeks as one nurturing and closely-knit family.

Marlboro’s Artistic Directors, Mitsuko Uchida & Jonathan Biss, and their senior artist colleagues are among the most renowned classical musicians in the world. They are members of outstanding chamber ensembles, acclaimed recitalists, principal chair members of leading orchestras, and teachers at prominent conservatories and universities.

Joining these seasoned artists each summer are dozens of emerging musicians: outstanding professionals in early stages of their careers. In a practice that originated at Marlboro, the senior artists do not coach the groups from the outside but play in them alongside the younger participants. These in-depth, multi-generational collaborations allow the musicians to exchange ideas, test new approaches, get to the heart of the music, and make lasting discoveries.
