This week Performance Today
is spending time right here in Vermont with a visit to the legendary
Marlboro Music Festival. VPR Classical’s Joe Goetz talked with Fred
recently about his visit. We’ll hear that conversation this morning
in the 9am hour along with music from the Guarneri Quartet, an ensemble that got its start at the
Festival.

You can also listen for a special 2-hour broadcast of Performance Today starting at 1 this afternoon, devoted to highlights from Marlboro.
