WCRB presents the closing concert of last summer's season at Tanglewood. They tell us:
Saturday, March 26, 2022, and Monday, April 4, 2022
Tonight at 8, in an encore broadcast of the closing concert of the 2021 Boston Symphony Orchestra season at Tanglewood, it’s an all-Brahms concert with Leonidas Kavakos as the soloist in the Violin Concerto and Herbert Blomstedt conducting the Symphony No. 4.

Learn more about this concert and listen to interviews at the Tanglewood Learning Institute online.
If you go to their web page, you'll find that the last line of their blurb is a link to the material at the Tanglewood Learning Institute. I tried it and can't find my way to anything about this concert. I made a short post about it at the time, but didn't say much about the music, and the link to the BSO performance detail page doesn't work anymore. I guess the BSO doesn't want to let us find out about past events.
Fortunately, the Boston Musical Intelligencer doesn't hide it's archives. There we find a brief but quite favorable review of the concert. The Globe's reviewer was unhappy with the choice of the Brahms symphony to end the season, and gave rather short shrift to the whole concert in a review which covered the whole weekend.
Again, WCRB will follow the custom of airing and streaming the concert both this evening at 8:00 and again on Monday (April 4) at 8:00.
