Tanglewood has announced the return of live music at its premises for Summer 2021. The famed Berkshires venue will host shows between July 9, 2021 through August 16, 2021 for six weeks of shows and entertainment.
Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra which owns and operates the venue. The venue is located in the Berkshires, more specifically, Lenox, Massachusetts. The Tanglewood Concert series started under a different name all the way back in 1934 and has since grown into the staple of the Berkshires it is today. The first show hosted by the Boston Symphony Orchestra was a three-concert series and was performed under a large tent for an audience of nearly 15,000, and now brings in an annual draw of over 350,000 visitors. According to its website, “Each season offers not only a vast quantity of music, but also a vast range of musical forms and styles, all of it presented with a regard for artistic excellence that makes the festival unique.”
