Marlboro Music Artist Residency Program Continues with Free Community Concerts

August 19, 2025

Now in its second season, Marlboro Music’s artist residency program brings exceptional emerging chamber music ensembles to the Marlboro campus throughout the year for deep creative work, community engagement, and concert offerings. Each group is in residence for 1 to 3 weeks, enjoying concentrated time together in a retreat-like environment where they can rehearse new programming, prepare for recording projects, develop community engagement programming, and more. Every ensemble in residence includes at least one Marlboro Music artist.

Each residency culminates with a free informal concert or event, in which the ensembles share the results of their work with our local community. The 2025-26 series opens with a performance by the Phaidros String Quartet on Sunday, November 9 and will continue with more events later in the season.

All concerts take place on the Marlboro campus (2582 South Rd, Marlboro, VT) in Ragle Hall (in the Serkin Center for the Arts) unless otherwise indicated. Please note that the November 9 concert has been moved to the Marlboro Dining Hall for increased seating capacity.

Admission to the community concerts is free, and all are welcome. Reservations are required and open approximately four weeks before each event. Seating is general admission (first come, first served). We hope you can join us!
