Tanglewood is wrapping up its virtual summer 2020 season - with hopes of meeting again in person in 2021.

The Tanglewood 2020 Online Festival will enter its eighth and final week with a broad selection of state-of-the-art digital audio and video streams. These performances were recorded at Tanglewood’s dramatic spaces at the superbly designed Linde Center – a constituent part of the BSO's/Tanglewood’s new entity, the Tanglewood Learning Institute. Other concerts will include performances previously recorded and archived by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood. 

A unique, all-encompassing digital music festival, the wide range of programming replicates a choice selection of the previously announced 2020 live performances Tanglewood had hoped to present this summer, but which had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus. 

Here is this final week’s schedule of streamed events, from Wednesday, Aug. 19, through Tuesday, Aug. 23.
