WMNR Fine Arts Radio has a long tradition of bringing you the Tanglewood Music Festival live every July and August., this year from July 5th to August 25th.
Fridays and Saturdays, 8:00 to 10:30 pm and Sundays, 2:30 to 5:00 pm
As a Mannes School of Music undergraduate, broadcaster Susan Prince was a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. She says “one of the things I’ll always remember is the reverence of the Tanglewood audiences and how silent and attentive they are during the music.” Board Operator Dave Rohlfing enjoys the Tanglewood broadcasts for the cheering an applauding that ensues once the baton comes down.
