Join fellow Boston University alumni for our annual day of classical music in the Berkshires. In the morning, take a front-row seat in Tanglewood’s open-air amphitheatre as conductor John Williams and the Boston Pops rehearse a program of classic film scores— or spread out a blanket and listen while relaxing on the lawn. After an all-American barbeque luncheon, enjoy a performance by the Boston University Tanglewood Institute Young Artists Orchestra in beautiful Ozawa Hall. Bring your family and friends!
