August 2, 2016 Tanglewood concert review by Dave Read<\/a><\/h4>\n

Tanglewood on Parade<\/strong> is one of those events that qualifies as the coolest thing in the world, an event you’d make a point of attending, if you knew enough to. It is an all-day celebration of all things classically musical, in a variety of venues spread amid the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s<\/strong> million-acre campus in the Berkshires<\/strong>. You could catch two full symphonic concerts plus several recitals, while picnicking in the company of true picnic hobbyists, all on the same nickel. <\/p>\n

Tchaikovsky’s<\/strong> simple and triumphant 1812 Overture<\/em> caps the Gala Concert – the lithe Keith Lockhart<\/strong> conducting a massive ensemble combining the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops, including live mortar rounds while the Overture climaxes, followed by a twenty minute fireworks display over nearby Stockbridge Bowl<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Even the musically challenged, people who don’t know an allegro<\/em> from a concertante<\/em>, can witness it once, then again annually for a decade or more and still retain his utter naivete. The place hath charms that soothe even the rustic’s breast.<\/p>\n\n
