Bring your lawn chair and picnic and head to the Common, Friday, July 14!


The Boston Symphony Orchestra presents "Tanglewood in the City," on a giant screen on Boston Common, featuring Andris Nelsons conducting a program of Ravel, Adès, Haydn, and Mozart transmitted live from the Tanglewood Music Festival, the BSO's summer home in the Berkshire hills. This event will give music lovers in Boston a chance to experience Tanglewood without having to leave the city. The screen will be positioned near the corner of Beacon and Charles Streets. This event is FREE and open to the public.


The live video transmission of the July 14 concert from Tanglewood is made possible by a generous gift from Virginia Simpson Aisner and James E. Aisner.


Andris Nelsons opens the weekend on Friday, July 14 at Tanglewood with performances of two pieces written as an homage to French Baroque composer François Couperin, composed nearly 90 years apart: Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin" and BSO Artist Partner Thomas Adès's "Three Studies from Couperin". Also on the program is Haydn's Symphony No. 83, "La Poule" ("The Hen"), last performed by the BSO in 1990, and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, K.467, featuring Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov.
