Events Calendar - 2024

Set in an exceptionally beautiful part of the Berkshires, in a place where the best of the current generation of artists gather to celebrate everything music has to offer, the concerts, workshops and discussions at Tanglewood create memories to last a lifetime. Friends and families gather on the lawn, or inside the Serge Koussevitzky Music Shed with its world-famous acoustics, to hear the Boston Symphony Orchestra, world-famous solo artists and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Smaller programs play out throughout the property, where eclectic artists both perform and discuss their work, educating audiences and mentoring students. A vast array of programs, from John Williams Night to an evening celebrating Bernstein and Brahms, will be presented from late June through Aug. 31. Come experience Tanglewood and begin a new summer tradition.

Each semester, more than 120 voice students at the Berklee College of Music audition for the opportunity to be cast in Singers Night, one of the Voice Department’s premier shows. Don't miss this high-energy concert featuring the students who were chosen during this process, performing solo and in small groups.

Revel in the splendor of J.S. Bach’s complete Brandenburg Concertos, the best of the Baroque. From the clarion call of the trumpet in No. 2 to the tour de force harpsichord solo in No. 5, there’s always something new to discover in this much-loved collection. Handel +Haydn’s endlessly dynamic concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky joins principal keyboard Ian Watson to co-pilot the ensemble from within. This is historically informed performance at its finest: masterfully performed and passionately shared. Please note: Thursday and Friday performances will be at Sanders Theatre located in Harvard’s Memorial Hall. Saturday’s performance will be held at NEC’s Jordan Hall (30 Gainsborough St, Boston, MA 02115).

Literature to Life takes on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work as their newest title in their Signature Performance series! Set in the Jazz Age of the roaring 20s, this story about dreams, love, and American idealism follows Nick Carraway and his interactions with mysterious millionaire neighbor Jay Gatsby and his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. “He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor.” Adapted and directed by Kelvin Grullon. We're on the road while the Zeiterion undergoes a major renovation and restoration! This performance will be at UMass Dartmouth, Main Auditorium, 285 Westport Road, North Dartmouth.

Cirque du Soleil returns to Boston with its high-energy production, OVO, which portrays a day in the life of insects. The miracle of biodiversity is performed through a continuous display of color, light and acrobatic movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst and opens, insects react with wonder and love.
