BOSTON — Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians began the first leg of the first-ever relay run from Boston to Tanglewood in Lenox on Monday, June 29, at 2, from Symphony Hall.
The "Run To Tanglewood" celebrates the opening of the 2009 Tanglewood season, which will take place Friday, July 3, with James Levine leading an all-Tchaikovsky program.
Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart fired a starter's pistol to start the 150-mile race and Pops trumpeters Bruce Hall and Rich Kelley played a fanfare, all three of whom are pictured in photo by Michael J. Lutch. The three starting runners featured in the photo are BSO bassist Todd Seeber, BSO life trustee Jack Cogan, and BSO staffer Stephanie Smith.
The run will continue over 33 legs, each between 3.5 and 7 miles, and will arrive at the Tanglewood main gate at approximately 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30. Tanglewood is the summer home of the BSO.
