Experience the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood

and support the Colchester Civic Orchestra and Choir!

Tanglewood is the summer home of the world renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra. Nestled in the stunning Berkshire Mountains of Lenox, MA, Tanglewood is the ideal setting to listen to live music outdoors.  This bus trip departs from Colchester and, upon arrival at Tanglewood, you will have ample opportunity to explore the grounds and picnic on your own (plan to bring your lawn chairs/picnic blanket and your own picnic lunch, or purchase lunch from Tanglewood concessions).  The concert begins at 2:30 pm, and your trip includes a seat under Koussevitsky Music Shed, where you’ll enjoy the music of George Gershwin, Gunther Schuller, and Leonard Bernstein.  Under the direction of conductor Robert Spano, the BSO will perform Gershwin’s American in Paris and Piano Concerto, Schuller’s Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee, and Berstein’s Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs, for clarinet and jazz ensemble.  Tanglewood has a variety of offerings for visitors from lawn chair rental to children’s programs before the concert.  Visit www.bso.org more information to customize your experience!  There are a limited number of tickets available so be sure to reserve your spot now.
