I would 100% recommend the BUTI program to any young musician. It is a tough six weeks, but to call it life changing is an understatement. It was truly a privilege working with some of the finest musicians in the country and being able to learn from them.”

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC
magic
Beyond an exceptional music education, what makes a summer at BUTI unforgettable is the magic of Tanglewood. It’s more than just being on stage at Seiji Ozawa Hall or your perspectiveshattering lesson with a BSO member. It’s the surround-sound feeling of belonging and the hushed anticipation right before the downbeat. It’s coming from the city and seeing green everywhere and the smell of sunset mixed with dewy grass. It’s all of this and more—it’s JOY.
It’s hard to put into words, but whether performing at Seiji Ozawa Hall, listening to a BSO worldpremiere from the Tanglewood lawn, or meeting your idol for the first time backstage, the magic is there. From the moment you arrive on campus, the seed is planted and will continue to grow long after you leave; it will always be part of you. This captivating feeling is unlike anything else—you have to experience it yourself.
