Tanglewood, the music center in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1937, will undergo a $30 million extension. The new four-building complex is designed to support the performance and rehearsal activities of the Tanglewood Music Center, the BSO’s Summer Music Academy.
A 200-seat concert hall and a building housing a 150-seat cafe aims to encourage interaction between musicians and audience members. Two smaller buildings will offer more space for rehearsal, performance and educational activities. Also planned is a renovation of the Ozawa Hall Bernstein campus with improved restroom and food service amenities. Works should be finished by 2019.
