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.

  • Norman Bolter
    Norman Bolter Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Norman Bolter was first inspired to play the trombone when, at age four, he saw the Captain Kangaroo television show character, "Mr. Greenjeans," play the same instrument. Mr. Bolter began his formal trombone studies at age nine with Ed VonHoff of the St. Paul Public School System. Later, he studied with Ronald Rickets and Steven Zellmer of the Minnesota Orchestra and with John Swallow at the New England Conservatory. Mr. Bolter is very thankful to these teachers and to former BSO principal bassoonist, Sherman Walt, not only for their technical and musical assistance but also for their encouragement and nurturance of his love of music and trombone playing. A Tanglewood Fellow and C. D. Jackson Award winner, Mr. Bolter joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1975 at age 20, becoming the youngest member of the orchestra at that time. As well, he is principal trombonist of the Boston Pops Orchestra and was a founding member of the Empire Brass Quintet, which won the prestigious Walter H. Naumberg Award in Chamber Music, the first brass ensemble ever to win this award. Mr. Bolter has appeared, as a member of the Boston Pops Orchestra, on the televised PBS favorite "Evening at Pops" with Arthur Fiedler, John Williams and Keith Lockhart as conductors. He has toured extensively in the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America with the BSO, the Pops and the Empire Brass and has made many recordings with them. He also appears as principal trombonist on recordings with Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine. Furthermore, Mr.

Sometimes combining classical and popular music, his concert presentations are singularly authentic, recreating the soundtracks of music’s greatest decades. From the 17th century to our time, his concerts celebrate anniversaries and music milestones, from Beethoven, Mahler and Stravinsky, to Elvis, The Beatles and The Carpenters, drawing on some of the nation’s brightest musical talent. Reed has worked with BJ Thomas, Larry Gatlin, Paul Williams, Peter Tork, Glen Campbell, Keith Emerson, Neil Sedaka, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., Mary Wilson, Melissa Manchester, Chris Young, and many others in appearances with his own orchestra and orchestras in Milan (Italy), St. Petersburg (Russia), and South Korea. Reed has twice appeared with the Royal Philharmonic at London’s Royal Albert Hall at the specific request of Neil Sedaka. In the United States, Jeffrey Reed has conducted the orchestras of Alabama, Augusta, Charleston, Detroit, Knoxville, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, Omaha, Phoenix, Portland (ME), Quad Cities (IA), Sacramento, South Bend and Winston-Salem. This season he will return to the Quad Cities and will appear for the first time with the Greensboro (NC) Symphony Orchestra.
