By Dave Read, Aug. 4, 2026 performance – A subsequent committment prevented us from attending the gala concert this evening, so the scope of this report is limited to a stroll amid the many musical performances provided by the Boston Symphony Orchestra during the afternoon of Tanglewood on Parade, which is at the center of the BSO’s annual local fund-raising efforts.
Following a week or so of less-than-ideal weather, August 4th was as glorious a summer day in the Berkshires as could reasonably be hoped for. Within a span of less than an hour, and withing a radius of a thousand yards, there was a Tanglewood Music Center piano recital in Ozawa Hall, an audience sing-along with TMC vocal fellow in Studio E of the Linde Center, a Boston University Tanglewood Institute chorus and orchestra concert in the Koussevitzky Music Shed, and a veritable hoedown with BSO violinist Bonnie Berwick and Friends on the Tappan House porch!
