Tanglewood 2010 Schedule

So I’ve been getting into classical and big band music lately while I’m working or reading at night. I started listening to a few classical stations online and some from Napster. So now I think I might catch what these guys sound like in concert by going to Tanglewood this summer.

Come July 9, 2010 and you will be amazed by the showcase of talents from great classical artists on the 2010 Tanglewood season of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Headed by the Orchestra’s music director, the grand Mr. James Levine himself, you will be lead to a series of wonderful classical music performance all through the month of July.
