The Bard Music Festival gets underway today at Bard College in idyllic Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. This year’s focus is on Franz Schubert and his world. The festival brings together world-renowned scholars and performers with Bard’s stellar music faculty, all under the supervision of the indefatigable Leon Botstein.

Among area participants will be Princeton University professor of music history Scott Burnham and New Jersey Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Eric Wyrick. You can read more about it in my article in today’s Trenton Times.
