Tanglewood Learning Institute and Linde Center for the Performing Arts

The TLI fall/winter/spring season hopes to appeal to audiences that are looking for an additional cultural experience beyond the summer season at Tanglewood, including the full- and part-time residents of the Berkshire community, which has played a crucial role in support of the festival since its founding in 1937. The Linde Center for Music and Learning-Tanglewood's new four-building complex and home to most of TLI's innovative summer programming-has played a role in establishing the festival for the first time as a year-round facility. Tanglewood, one of the country's most acclaimed music festivals and summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Tanglewood Music Center, is located in Lenox and Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
