A hundred thousand dollars, she said, would be needed for this purpose, and the response to her plea was so generous that within a short time the amount was fully subscribed. Plans for the Music Shed were drawn up by the eminent .

architect Eliel Saarinen, and, as modi- fied by Josef Franz of Stockbridge, who also directed construction, it was com- pleted on June 16, 1938, a month ahead of schedule. Seven weeks later, Serge Koussevitsky led the inaugural concert, which included a performance of Beet- hoven's Ninth Symphony. By 1941, the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall and several small studios — all part of the Berkshire Music Center, which had begun operations the pre- ceding year — were finished, and the Festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors. Today Tanglewood annually draws close to a quarter of a million visitors; in addition to the twenty-four regular concerts of the Boston Symphony, there are weekly "Prelude" concerts and open rehearsals, the annual Festival of EUAIilC FM 90.3 mHz Contemporary Music, and almost daily concerts by the gifted young musicians We bring you fine music of the Berkshire Music Center.
