Eternity in your Hands
We're continuing our week-long look at the Marlboro Music Festival in Marlboro, Vermont. Co-artistic director Mitsuko Uchida sums up the magic of the place: "Time passes very slowly in Marlboro, and at the same time very fast. You blink, and seven weeks are gone. But it seems as if you had eternity in your hands." We'll hear a couple of standout Marlboro performances today. Plus, the New York Philharmonic, at home and on the road in Hanoi.
