Marlboro’s 75th Summer Season: July 18–Aug. 16, 2026
Tickets for the 2026 Marlboro Music Festival are on sale now. Celebrate this milestone season with us in beautiful southern Vermont during our five weekends of concerts. Performances are presented on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons as well as on the first two Friday evenings in August.
Some performances and seating locations sell out quickly, so we encourage you to purchase in advance. If your preferred performance/seating location is not available, please join the waiting list for those concerts. We will then contact you at a later date if/when more tickets become available. Specific concert programs and personnel are determined and announced about one week in advance of each concert.
In addition to the performances, please note that free open rehearsals are offered in Persons Auditorium throughout the week, from mid-July to mid-August—enabling many more friends to experience the music that will be performed on the weekend concerts. Schedules are announced at the beginning of each week.
To receive regular updates on our season, please join our email list. If you have questions, please visit our FAQ page or contact our Box Office Manager, Patrick LaVecchia-Burke, at [email protected].

About Concert Programs at Marlboro
At Marlboro, there are no pre-planned concert programs. The artists themselves choose the music we’ll hear from among the many pieces that are being explored each week, from chamber music masterworks to contemporary music by resident composers. Typically, 60-80 groups are in rehearsal at any one time; only one-quarter of the more than 250 works explored during the summer can be included.
Because of this fluid and organic process, we do not know, and cannot announce more than a week or so in advance, what repertoire and artists will be featured on any particular concert. What we can be sure of, however, is that the performances will represent the dedication to excellence and the search for compelling artistic discoveries that characterize all of the music-making at Marlboro.
