Merrimack Valley Phil - La Dolce Vita
Italian opera and orchestrations combine to make this enjoyable program come to life! Praised for her “rich and beautiful voice,” Erin M. Smith is a dynamic performer throughout New England. Joined by powerful tenor Yeghishe Manucharyan, a performer from the Metropolitan Opera, this magnificent duo performs the finale from Act 1 of La Boheme. The lovely O mio babbino caro by Erin follows our opening number, Oveture to Barbiere di Siviglia. Then Yeghishe wows us with Una furtiva lagrima by Donizetti. Our strings shine in Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, and our brass are highlighted in Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien. Put up your feet and relax!
Musicians from Marlboro
“This was truly accomplished music-making. There are chamber groups of longtime standing that fail to come close to this ad-hoc group’s sense of shared purpose. Which suggests somebody in Marlboro is doing something right.” —The New York Times
In 2023, Marlboro Music welcomed Helmut Lachenmann as its Composer in Residence, a rare U.S. visit for this German composer who has shaped contemporary music worldwide. During his time in Vermont, Lachenmann worked closely with the musicians on Got Lost, a uniquely adventurous work for soprano and piano that challenges the physical and mental expectations of the performers. The program also features works by Haydn and Mozart, performed by Elias Quartet cellist Marie Bitlloch and three magnificent emerging string players.
The Musicians from Marlboro touring program was created as an extension of Vermont’s Marlboro Music Festival, founded in 1951. Musicians from Marlboro tours are noted not only for their joyous performances but also for offering valuable touring experience to artists at the beginning of their careers and touring with unusual chamber repertoire. Since their inception, the Musicians from Marlboro tours have introduced such great talents as Richard Goode, Yefim Bronfman, Jaime Laredo, Murray Perahia, Paula Robison, Sir András Schiff, Peter Serkin, Richard Stoltzman, and Benita Valente. They have also featured other exceptional artists now heard in the Emerson, Juilliard, Takács, and Dover Quartets and Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio. In the words of the Washington Post, “Musicians from Marlboro is a virtual guarantee of musical excellence!”
