Come see why Tanglewood, the famed summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is on everyone’s June-through-August to-do list. There is something for all music-lovers here on this beautiful Berkshires property: a beloved music festival featuring the BSO, the Boston Pops, guest artists both traditional and unconventional; the Tanglewood Learning Institute, with eclectic discussions, open workshops and recitals; and the BSO’s training academy, the Tanglewood Music Center. Enjoy Beethoven or Bernstein in the Serge Koussevitzky Music Shed or chamber music in Seiji Ozawa Hall. Listen from inside the Shed or relax on the lawn with a blanket and a picnic. Although the music festival is a summer event, you can enjoy the lovely Tanglewood grounds all year. Check the website for information on tours and on the many dining options.
