Marlboro Music

Since 1951, the world’s most talented classical musicians have participated in Marlboro Music, a summer festival in Vermont’s Green Mountains. With a shortage of rehearsal, residential, and support space for musicians, a rehearsal building and residential hall was planned on a 2.5-acre site within the campus at Marlboro College. The landscape design goal was to establish the festival’s place amidst the lush landscape of foothills and streams, and create welcoming outdoor spaces to foster interaction and events. The design thoughtfully considers the scale of the existing campus, a historic farm, and pays respect to the pristine, expansive wilderness that surrounds it.
