Marlboro in Boston
Every summer at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, the emphasis is on rehearsals. Concerts are almost an afterthought. Musicians might put weeks of work into a piece of music, and never perform it. In today's show, we'll hear a quartet of Marlboro musicians who saw the process through to its conclusion, performing a Haydn string quartet on the road in Boston.
