TANGLEWOOD
TheTanglewoodFestival
In August 1934 a group ofmusic-loving summer residents ofthe Berkshires organized a
series ofthree outdoor concerts at Interlaken, to be given by members ofthe NewYork
Philharmonic under the direction ofHenry Hadley.The venture was so successful that the
promoters incorporated the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and repeated the experiment during
the next summer.
The Festival Committee then invited Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony
Orchestra to take part in the following year's concerts.The orchestra's Trustees accepted,
and on August 13, 1936, the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its first concerts in the
Berkshires (at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate, later the Center at Foxhollow).The
series again consisted ofthree concerts and was given under a large tent, drawing a total of
nearly 15,000 people.
In the winter of1936 Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss MaryAspinwallTappan offered
Tanglewood, theTappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres oflawns and mead-
ows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra.The offer was gratefully accepted, and on
August 5, 1937, the festival's largest crowd to that time 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 "Forest Murmurs" from Siegfried, music too delicate to be heard through the downpour. At
the intermission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one ofthe festival's founders, made an
appeal to raise funds for the building ofa permanent structure.The appeal was broadened by
means ofa printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short
time enough money had been raised to begin active planning for a "music pavilion."
Eliel Saarinen, the eminent architect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaborate
design thatwent far beyond the immediate needs ofthe festival and, more important, went
well beyond the budget of$100,000. His second, simplified plans were still too expensive; he
finallywrote that ifthe Trustees insisted on remaining within their budget, theywould have
"just a shed," "which any builder could accomplish without the aid ofan architect."The
Afterthestorm ofAugust12, 1937, whichprecipitatedafundraisingdriveforthe construction ofthe

mmm
Trustees then turned to Stockbridge engineerJoseph Franz to make further simplifications in
Saarinen's plans in order to lower the cost.The building he erected was inaugurated on the
evening ofAugust 4, 1938, when the first concert ofthatyear's festival was given, and re-
mains, with modifications, to this day. It has echoed with the music ofthe Boston Sym-
phony Orchestra every summer since, except for the war years 1942-45, and has become
almost a place ofpilgrimage to millions ofconcertgoers. In 1959, as the result ofa collabo-
ration between the acoustical consultant Bolt Beranek and Newman and architect Eero
Saarinen and Associates, the installation ofthe then-unique Edmund HawesTalbot Or-
chestra Canopy, along with other improvements, produced the Shed's present world-famous
acoustics. In 1988, on the occasion ofits fiftieth anniversary, the Shed was rededicated as
"The Serge KoussevitzkyMusic Shed," recognizing the far-reachingvision ofthe BSO's
legendary music director.
In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center (now theTanglewood Music Center) began its
operations. By 1941 the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small
studios were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for
excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors.
With the Boston Symphony Orchestra's acquisition in 1986 ofthe Highwood estate
adjacent to Tanglewood, the stage was set for the expansion ofTanglewood's public grounds
A
by some 40%. master plan developed by the Cambridge firm ofCarr, Lynch, Hack and
Sandell to unite the Tanglewood and Highwood properties confirmed the feasibility of
using the newly acquired property as the site for a new concert hall to replace the outmod-
edTheatre-Concert Hall (which was used continuously with only minor modifications
since 1941, and which with some modification has been used in recent years for theTangle-
wood Music Center's opera productions), and for improvedTanglewood Music Center

Remembering Serge Koussevitzkyon the 50thAnniversaryofhis Death
Perhaps no figure in the history ofthe Boston Symphony Orchestra
has had as far-reaching an impact as the Russian-born Serge
Koussevitzky (1874-1951),who served as the BSO's music director
for twenty-five years, from 1924 to 1949. Dr. Koussevitzky died on
June 4, 1951, at seventy-seven. During his tenure, the BSO gave an
unprecedented number ofAmerican andworld premieres; under-
—
took a commissioning program in 1930, to markthe orchestra's
—
fiftieth anniversary that has served as a model for BSO commis-
sioning programs that continue to this day; tookup permanent
summer residencyin the Berkshires, in 1936; and founded the
Tanglewood Music Center, in 1940.To mark the 50th anniversary
ofKoussevitzky's death and to recognize Koussevitzky's enormous
legacy, the BSO Archives has mounted a special focus exhibit in the
Tanglewood Visitor Center featuring photographs ofthe legendary conductor.
Shown here is a rare photograph ofSerge Koussevitzky (photograph by Krig Sahl, Octo-
ber 1938, courtesyTrustees ofthe Boston Public Library, Laning Humphrey Collection).
The photographs on display in the Visitor Centerwere assembled from avarietyofsources,
including the BSO Archives; the private collection ofErika Stone, Photographer; the Lan-
ing Humphrey Collection in the Boston Public Library; and the HeinzW.Weissenstein
Collection,Whitestone Photographs, Lenox, MA.
