Weekend of July 30, 2011

The Marlboro Music Festival

This weekend on PT, we'll bring you great performances from the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont. Founder Rudolf Serkin called it a "republic of equals," with young professionals and seasoned veterans making music together side-by-side. We'll meet co-artistic directors Mitsuko Uchida and Richard Goode, and hear performances from what one Marlboro board member calls "a summer camp for geniuses."
