“Not only is the virtuosity of Musicians from Marlboro consistently jaw-dropping, but the freshness, rich imagination and sheer vitality of their playing is enough to make even the most jaded concertgoer edge to the front of their seat” (Washington Post). The second Marlboro touring program of the season shines a light on Schumann before concluding with Brahms’s Clarinet Quintet, one of his great autumnal masterworks and a piece of extraordinary emotional depth.
