Music in the Concert Hall, Napkin Ball Fights in the Dining Hall
The serious and the silly from Marlboro Music, in Vermont. We'll hear an astonishing 2007 performance that exemplifies the Marlboro practice of teaming young professionals with chamber music veterans: the then 17-year-old violin phenom Benjamin Beilman with an ensemble that includes venerable violist Samuel Rhodes, and pianist Richard Goode, co-Artistic Director of Marlboro Music. We'll hear their performance of the f-minor Piano Quintet, by Brahms. With so much intense rehearsal and performance every summer at Marlboro, there are some long-standing traditions for blowing off steam: elaborate pranks, and throwing wadded-up napkins in the dining hall. Half a dozen musicians from this year's festival weigh in on the joy (and the distraction) of Marlboro's napkin balls and pranks.
