The 2010 Tanglewood Season Listings

For the second year in a row, here is the complete schedule for the Tanglewood Festival, released one minute after the end of the press embargo. These listings are taken directly from the press release, with only some minor formatting changes made to the original text. The Mahler Symphonyies # 2 and 3 look to be season highlights, but I always have a soft spot for programs like Audra MacDonald's New American Songbook on July 18th, the Brahms/Schumann recital by Matthis Goerne and Andreas Haflinger on July 29th, and Bernarda Fink's August 5 song recital with Anthony Spiri. Be sure to check out the full calendar of events for more detailed info on concerts and ticket availability.
