85 years ago Serge Koussevitzky started a tradition at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s home away from home on the Lenox-Stockbridge line, that has become a herald of the Summer for music lovers everywhere.
Tanglewood on Parade happens today, and though it began as the “Allied Relief Fund Benefit,” it’s now a fundraiser for all of the learning that is done at the BSO’s summer home, bringing activities for folx of all ages, and performances by every ensemble on the campus all day long
So today, we head to the Berkshires to get a snapshot of the festivities that always end with canon fire from the 1812 Overture and fireworks. We’ll speak with Maestros Thomas Wilkins and Na’Zir McFadden about their respective tenures with the institution and the work they’ll be leading in tonight's concert, hear performances from concertmaster Nathan Cole, and principal flutist Lorna McGhee, plus hear what happens beyond the music for the community with senior director for patron experience Amy Aldrich, and hear from each one about the incredible location and comradery that Tanglewood builds.
