13. Go to Tanglewood Opening Night
BSO’s summer home. Koussevitzky Music Shed, July 8.
Back at full blast in the Berkshires, conductor Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra open their summer season not with fluff but with pomp, noise, and stress: Bernstein’s
Opening Prayer, his Symphony No. 2 (“The Age of Anxiety”), with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Stravinsky’s thunderous Rite of Spring.
