“The Boston Symphony Orchestra has announced the schedule for the summer 2023 season at Tanglewood, its summer home in Lenox,” writes A.Z. Madonna in Thursday’s (2/2) Boston Globe (login may be required). “Banner performances include BSO music director Andris Nelsons conducting the BSO, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, and a slew of guest soloists in Mozart’s ‘Così fan tutte’ and Orff’s ‘Carmina burana’ during the same weekend (July 15-16), and Keith Lockhart leading the Boston Pops in a symphonic concert version of the musical ‘Ragtime’ created especially for the orchestra (July 8). Other notable dates at first glance include July 21, when New Jersey Symphony music director Xian Zhang makes her BSO debut with performers from Jersey City-based company Nimbus Dance; and June 28, when the Emerson String Quartet will stop at Ozawa Hall on its farewell tour, joined by Emanuel Ax…. The season runs from June 22 to Aug. 27, with the weeks in between packed full of concerts and other assorted events at the Koussevitzky Music Shed, Seiji Ozawa Hall, and the Linde Center for Music and Learning, which is celebrating its fifth summer in operation.”
