After forty-one consecutive summers, our retail store has closed. Please visit our website: www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com Tanglewood The Tanglewood Festival On August 13, 15, and 16, 1936, the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its fiRst concerts in the BeRkshiRe Hills of westeRn Massachusetts; music diRectoR SeRge Koussevitzky conducted. But those outdooR concerts, attended by a total of 15,000 people, did not take place at Tanglewood: the oRchestRa peRfoRmed neaRby undeR a laRge tent at Holmwood, a foRmer Vanderbilt estate that later became The Center at Foxhollow. In fact, the fiRst BerkshiRe Symphonic Festival had taken place two summers eaRlier, at Interlaken, when, oRganized by a group of music-loving BerkshiRe summer Residents, three outdooR concerts were given by members of the New YoRk PhilhaRmonic, under the diRection of composer/conductoR Henry Hadley. But after a second concert series in 1935, plans foR 1936 pRoved difficult, foR Reasons including Hadley’s health and aspects of the musical programming; so the oRganizing committee instead approached Koussevitzky and the BSO’s TRustees, whose enthusiastic Response led to the BSO’s fiRst concerts in the BerkshiRes. In the winter of 1936, following the BSO’s concerts that summer, Mrs. GoRham BRooks and Miss MaRy Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acRes of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the oRchestRa. The offeR was gRatefully accepted, a two-weekend festival was planned foR 1937, and on August 5 that yeaR, the festival’s laRgest crowd to date assembled under a tent foR the fiRst Tanglewood concert, an all-Beethoven program. At the all-Wagner concert that opened the 1937 festival’s second weekend, Rain and thundeR twice inteRRupted the Rienzi OveRtuRe and necessitated the omission altogetheR of the Siegfried Idyll, music too gentle to be heaRd through the downpour. At the inter- mission, Miss GeRtRude Robinson Smith, one of the festival’s foundeRs, made an appeal to Raise funds foR the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was bRoadened by means of a printed ciRculaR handed out at the two Remaining concerts, and within a shoRt time enough money was Raised to begin active planning foR a “music pavilion.” Eliel SaaRinen, the eminent aRchitect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaboRate design that went faR beyond the festival’s immediate needs, and also well beyond the $100,000 budget. When his second, simplified plans were again deemed too expensive, A banner advertising the 1939 Berkshire Symphonic Festival (BSO Archives) he finally wRote that if the TRustees insisted on Remaining within theiR budget, they would have “just a shed...which any buildeR could accomplish without the aid of an aRchitect.” The TRustees then asked StockbRidge engineeR Joseph FRanz to simplify SaaRinen’s plans fuRtheR, and the “Shed” he eRected—which Remains, with modifica- tions, to this day—was inaugurated on August 4, 1938, with the fiRst concert of that yeaR’s festival. It has Resounded to the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra every summer since, except foR the waR yeaRs 1942-45, and has become almost a place of pilgrimage to millions of concertgoers. In 1959, as the Result of a collaboRa- tion between the acoustical consultant Bolt Beranek and Newman and aRchi- tect EeRo SaaRinen and Associates, the installation of the then-unique Edmund Hawes Talbot ORchestRa Canopy, along with otheR impRove- After the storm of August 12, 1937, which precipitated a fundraising drive ments, produced the Shed’s present for the construction of the Tanglewood Shed (BSO Archives) woRld-famous acoustics.

  • Bernadette Peters Throughout Her Illustrious Career, Tony Award-Winning Actress Bernadette Peters Has Dazzled Audiences and Crit
    Bernadette Peters Throughout her illustrious career, Tony Award-winning actress Bernadette Peters has dazzled audiences and critics with her performances on stage and television, in concert, and on recordings. She recently starred on Broadway in the Stephen Sondheim / James Goldman critically acclaimed production of Follies, following a successful run at the Kennedy Center. Prior to that, she starred opposite Elaine Stritch in the Stephen Sondheim / Hugh Wheeler Tony Award- winning masterpiece, A Little Night Music. In 2012, Bernadette was honored with her third Tony Award, The Isabelle Stevenson Special Award that acknowledges an individual from the theatre community who has made a substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of one or more humanitarian, social service or charitable organizations. Recently, Peters added author and songwriter to her roster of achievements with her debut children’s book, Broadway Barks, aptly named after the organization she co-founded with good friend, Mary Tyler Moore. The book landed on the New York Times Bestseller list shortly after publication. The organization’s annual star-studded animal adoption event takes place in Shubert Alley in the heart of NYC’s theater district, and benefits over 20 animal shelters in and around the New York City area. The book package includes a CD recording of an original song written and sung by the author. Her second children’s book, Stella is a Star features yet another of her original songs, of which all proceeds from the sale of both books go to Broadway Barks!. In November 2009, Peters performed a special one-night-only concert in New York City at the Minskoff Theatre, called “Bernadette Peters: A Special Concert for Broadway Barks Because Broadway Cares”, which benefitted both Broadway Barks and Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS.

  • Le Fonds D'archives De La Péniche Opéra
    Cécile Auzolle ● Sylvain Labrousse ● Clara Roupie Le fonds d’archives de la Péniche Opéra Inventaire Mise en page de David Penot Version 11 | janvier 2018 Criham EA 4270 Introduction En 1975, Mireille Larroche crée la Péniche Théâtre, qui devient, en 1982, la Péniche Opéra, active dans le monde de l’art lyrique expérimental jusqu’en 2015. Cette institution témoigne de l’histoire du spectacle vivant entre 1975 et 2015, du dynamisme novateur des politiques culturelles et se singularise par la diversité de son parcours et des collaborations artistiques en présence. Les archives de cette compagnie représentent un matériau brut à explorer, à analyser, à faire parler, aussi bien dans une perspective d’histoire de la musique et de l’art lyrique – histoire du goût, monographies sur des œuvres, des compositeurs, des interprètes, des collaborateurs de spectacles… – d’histoire culturelle et d’études théâtrales. Elles constituent aussi une formidable banque de renseignements et matériaux artistiques pouvant servir à la recréation de spectacles. Projet de recherche et inventaire En décembre 2015, au moment de son départ en retraite et de la cession de la péniche à une autre compagnie, la POP (lieu des musiques mises en scène) Mireille Larroche lance un appel à ses amis et partenaires pour la valorisation des archives des Péniches -Théâtre et -Opéra. Cécile Auzolle (Criham/ IReMus) et Gilles Demonet (IReMus) puis Catherine Treilhou-Balaudé (Iret) construisent alors un projet de recherche destiné à aboutir à un colloque international, une publication et des manifestations culturelles en 2022, pour le quarantième anniversaire de la création de la Péniche Opéra.
