Tanglewood And The Clark Collaborate On A New Promotion For Summer 200909:32AM / Friday, March 20, 2009
Tanglewood and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, two of the Berkshires’ premier arts organizations, are coming together this summer to offer a ticket package for patrons making the 45-minute drive between the two institutions. The $45 package includes two lawn tickets to Tanglewood classical concerts and two tickets for admission to the Clark. This special ticket promotion represents the first major collaboration between the two organizations.
Only two hours from Boston and three hours from New York, western Massachusetts is a region rich with museums and cultural events, abundant outdoor recreation, and world-renowned summer festivals, along with award-winning restaurants, spas and relaxation, shopping, and antiquing. This summer’s 45/45 ticket package is designed to make it easy and affordable for visitors to take in a variety of experiences while enjoying the scenic Berkshire Hills.
The 2009 Tanglewood season, June 22-September 6, offers weekly concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by James Levine and favorite guest conductors, a Boston Pops concert led by Keith Lockhart, Film Night led by John Williams, and recital and chamber music recitals by some of the most preeminent artists of our time. Now in its 73rd season, Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, located in the Berkshire Hills in Lenox, Massachusetts.
The Clark features an outstanding collection of Impressionist, American, and Old Master paintings, set among 140 scenic acres with hiking and walking trails. On view this summer will be Dove/O'Keeffe: Circles of Influence an exciting, vibrant exhibition delving into the relatively unexplored relationship between two figureheads of American modernism—Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe, and Through the Seasons: Japanese Art in Nature.
Tanglewood lawn tickets available for this special promotion include all classical concerts, as well as Pops and Tanglewood on Parade. Blackout dates include Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor (June 27), Diana Krall (July 4), James Taylor (August 27-30), and the Tanglewood Jazz Festival (September 4-6). Clark admission tickets are valid June 7 through September 7.
