Tanglewood — 2023/07/07-09

 The Boston Symphony has returned to Tanglewood and will present concerts in the customary format: separate concerts on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday evening over the next seven weekends. (Occasionally, the concerts are by a different ensemble, such as the Boston Pops, or the Tanglewood Musical Center Orchestra.) WCRB  transmits the Friday and Saturday concerts live, and the Sunday concert by a delayed braodcast in the evening. Here's what well get for opening weekend, per WCRB: https://www.classicalwcrb.org/show/the-boston-symphony-orchestra/2023-06-08/opening-night-at-tanglewood-with-trifonov-and-the-bso

For whatever reason, WCRB hasn't posted the program for Sunday yet (or if they have, I can't find it) but here's the equivalent information from the BSO's own page: https://www.bso.org/events/bso-bullock-hahn?performance=2023-07-09-14:30

Andris Nelsons, conductor

The BSO page doesn't include program notes for any of the pieces to be played, and of course there are no reviews possible yet. So, more I cannot tell you.
