For musicians and music lovers worldwide, Tanglewood, in the idyllic Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, is widely considered hallowed ground. Founded in 1937, it hosts one of the globe’s preeminent music festivals and is the summer retreat for the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO). The venue has been graced by legendary figures from Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland to Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga. But it is equally celebrated for its breathtaking campus, composed of two former estates whose 524 pastoral acres spill out across woodlands and large swaths of manicured lawns, dotted with canopy trees, that open to views of the gently rolling scenery. Tanglewood, says BSO president and CEO Mark Volpe, “is the gestalt of music, nature, and pedagogy.”
