TANGLEWOOD
Live music returns to the Lawn After a summer of silence in 2020, when COVID-19 forced the Boston Symphony Orchestra to cancel its summer season in Lenox, music will return to the Shed and Lawn. Though a shorter season than normal — there will be six weeks of in-person concerts — capacity limits have been raised to cap audience attendance at 9,000 for all performances taking place at Tanglewood. So there’s plenty of room to stretch out on the Lawn and enjoy a night of music under the stars.
