For 60 years, the Musicians from Marlboro touring program has brought memorable performances from Vermont’s legendary chamber music school and festival to national audiences. The first of three Marlboro touring ensembles this season is led by senior violinist Itamar Zorman of the Lysander Trio. The program features Britten’s Phantasy for string trio and oboe, his first work to gain major international recognition, as well as Shostakovich’s introspective, sardonic, and elegiac String Quartet No. 8, a work dedicated to the victims of war and fascism. The program concludes with the youthful brilliance of the 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quintet in A Major.
The program features: Britten’s Phantasy Quartet, Op. 2 , Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8, Op. 110 , Mendelssohn’s String Quintet in A Major, Op. 18,
