July 23, 2024: Live at Tanglewood for Koussevitzky's 150th

The Fabulous 413

It's nearly someone's birthday!

So we head to the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home to celebrate the person responsible for making this area part of the BSO's year round performances: Serge Koussevitzky. Live from the Tanglewood grounds we speak with Bridget Carr, Director of Archives and Digital Collections at the BSO about the maestro's history, with Anthony Fogg, VP of Artistic Planning about the specific activities happening this weekend in Koussevitzky's honor, and hear a bit of one of the maestro's double bass compositions from BSO principal double bassist Edwin Barker, accompanied by pianist Debbie Emery and on Koussevitzky's very own bass.
