Richard Goode, pianist & former co-artistic director

I’ve often felt that the people who founded Marlboro grew up in an atmosphere where music was in relation with the other arts and they had, almost by virtue of growing up at that time, a kind of artistic education which people today have to work harder to get. Marlboro can’t, after all, be everything in those seven weeks… but it can sometimes provide tastes of things, and maybe a sense of the interrelationships that we would hope to help achieve.
