It's Almost Show Time

When the tumultuous strains of instrumentalists warming up can be heard emanating from the Shed, it's time to pack up your picnic and head for your seats. Or, if you'll be enjoying the concert from the lawn, to pour another glass of wine or your beverage of choice and to break open the desserts!

Concerts at Tanglewood are scheduled for a variety of times of day, but most of the preeminent performances are evening affairs. Be sure to pack an extra sweater or jacket, as temperatures can cool significantly after dark.
