Following on the success
of the first “NESACS
at Tanglewood”
in 2009, come enjoy another beautiful day in the
Berkshires! On Sunday, August
15th, 2010 at 2:30 pm,
NESACS members, family, and friends can listen
to the
Boston Symphony Orchestra performing in the sylvan
setting
of its summer home at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass.,
in
the heart of Berkshire County, less than three
hours from
Boston.
Led by Robert Spano, music director of
the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra, the program has a decidedly
jazzy
American theme: George Gershwin’s American
in Paris and
Piano Concerto, with acclaimed pianist Jean-Yves
Thibaudet; Gunther Schuller’s Seven Studies
on Themes of
Paul Klee; and Leonard Bernstein’s Prelude,
Fugue, and
Riffs for clarinet and jazz ensemble, with BSO
Associate
Principal clarinetist Thomas Martin.
Tickets can be ordered at http://www.tanglewood.org.
Prices are $18.00 for lawn tickets (free for people
age 17
and under) and range from $20 to $89 for reserved
seats in
the Shed. Tickets ordered via the Web or by phone
have an
additional $5.50 service charge; however, purchases
at the
Symphony Hall box office do not carry this charge.
Shed
tickets are discounted 10 percent for groups of
25 or more.
For those who want to spend the day in what he
insists
is the most beautiful place in Massachusetts
(if not the country, but he’s biased),
come early and gather at the home of Bob Lichter
and Diane Scott-Lichter in nearby Alford
before traveling 30 minutes to Tanglewood. The
grounds
open at noon, and it’s a beautiful spot
for a picnic!
To sign up, contact secretary@nesacs.org. Directions
will
be provided to participants. |
