The Ghost of Marlboro

The music-making at Marlboro is so terrific that at times it almost seems other-worldly. In today's show, the story of one Marlboro resident who truly is from another dimension. That is, if you believe in ghosts. We'll share the story of Emily Mather, the ghost of Marlboro, and hear a performance of Beethoven's Ghost Trio.
