IN 80 YEARS, TANGLEWOOD HAS GROWN IN SIZE AND SCOPE.
WHEN THE SYMPHONY IS NOT IN RESIDENCE, POPULAR ARTISTS POPULATE THE CONCERT STAGE.
IT TAKES A COUPLE THOUSAND PEOPLE TO OPERATE TANGLEWOOD THROUGH THE COURSE OF AN ENTIRE SUMMER.
>> 520 ACRES, 350,000 VISITORS, TANGLEWOOD IS AS VITAL TO THE BERKSHIRES AS THE BERKSHIRES ARE TO TANGLEWOOD.
IN BOSTON, WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY DEVOTED AUDIENCE, BUT HERE IT IS A LIFESTYLE.
THEY WANT TO BE AROUND MUSIC.
THE MUSIC AND NATURE IS ABSOLUTELY COMPELLING HERE.
>> THE YOUNGEST MEMBERS OF THE TANGLEWOOD FAMILY ARE IN THE DAYS IN THE ARTS PROGRAM.
WE BRING TOGETHER 50 STUDENTS FROM URBAN, SUBURBAN, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES FOR EIGHT WEEKS TO BE IMMERSED IN THE ARTS.
THEY RANGE IN AGE FROM 10 TO 13 YEARS OLD.
>> EVERY DATE WE GO TO A DIFFERENT MUSEUM AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, SO IT IS NICE.
WHAT BEGAN AS A DAY TRIP TO THE COUNTRY FOR INNER-CITY CHILDREN HAS GROWN STATEWIDE.
>> OVER THE YEARS, WE RECEIVED GRANTS TO START TO INTEGRATE COMMUNITIES, SO A 12-YEAR-OLD WHO GREW UP IN BOSTON GETS TO MEET A 12-YEAR-OLD WHO LIVES SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE STATE.
>> RISING HERE ON THE EAST LAWN, A NEW ERA FOR TANGLEWOOD, THIS ONE YEAR ROUND, THE FIRST MAJOR EXPANSION SINCE 1994.
>> GREAT THINGS ARE IN STORE HERE WITH THESE NEW BUILDINGS.
>> SUE ELLIOTT IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE SOON TO BE TAKE A WITH LEARNING INSTITUTE.
>> THE GOAL OF THE INSTITUTE, IN MY OWN WORDS, IS TO BRING TANGLEWOOD TO THE WORLD AND THE WORLD TO TANGLEWOOD.
THEY COVET -- THINK OF IT AS A WAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE MUSICALLY CURIOUS OR MUSICALLY SAVVY TO GET CLOSER TO THE MUSICIANS.
>> MUSIC AS WELL AS OTHER HUMANITIES, SAYS ELLIOTT.
>> I THINK THIS WORK TAKES US THAT MUCH CLOSER TO A MORE CIVIL SOCIETY, WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE SHARING LIVE, EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES.
>> NOTHING SAYS SHARING LIKE A PICNIC, PERFECTED TO AN ART FORM AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE TANGLEWOOD PICNIC BOOK.
AND THEN THERE IS THE COMPETITIVE PICNIC LEAGUE, STARTED BY LINDA CAMPOS.
>> IT IS A COMPETITION BECAUSE WE PICK A THEME THAT WE ALL COOK TO.
WE TRY TO PAIR ARE THEMES TO WHAT THE BSO IS PLAYING.
WHOEVER WINS GETS A PRIZE FOR MONDAY LOCAL BUSINESSES.
>> THEIR MOTTO?
"ON SUNDAYS, WE PICNIC." GOOD FOOD, FRESH AIR, GREAT MUSIC.
IT’S LIKE MULTIPLE SENSES HAPPENING AT ONCE.
IT’S A PERFECT NIGHT.
>> FROM STOCKBRIDGE TO LENOX, THERE IS A DISTINCT BUZZ ON CONCERT WEAKENS.
CAP A LCIA IN LENEXA OPENED IN 1983, TRADING THE CLASSROOM FOR THE KITCHEN.
HE NAMED THE RESTAURANT FOR HIS FATHER.
WHEN MY FATHER WENT TO SCHOOL , THE TEACHER SAID, YOU ARE JOE LUCY.
>> THE MENU WAS INSPIRED BY HIS IRISH MOTHER.
>> SHE WAS AN IRISH BRIDE WHO WAS THE BEST ITALIAN COOK.
PEOPLE TELL ME WE RUIN THEM FROM EATING OSSO BUCCO ANYWHERE ELSE.
>> LUCY BEGAN SMALL, A FEW TABLES OUTSIDE AN ART GALLERY.
WHEN THE GALLERY CLOSED, HE MOVED IN, AND ONE DAY THE PHONE STARTED TO RING.
8:30 IN THE MORNING, MAKING A RESERVATION FOR THAT NIGHT.
ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
>> WHY?
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" RAN A STORY ABOUT WHERE THE SYMPHONY LIKES TO DINE.
>> THE LAST SENTENCE WAS CAFE LUCIA IS THAT MY ASTRO’S FAVORITE RESTAURANT.
-- WAS THE MAESTRO’S FAVORITE RESTAURANT.
>> I AM THE OLD MAN ON THE BLOCK NOW AND WINDEX, WHICH I GUESS FEELS PRETTY GOOD.
>> THERE IS CLEARLY A LOT MORE THAN MUSIC GOING ON AT TANGLEWOOD, ESPECIALLY ON SUMMER SUNDAYS.
>> FOOD AND WINE TASTINGS, EVEN YOGA.
THEY REMINDER, ADMISSION IS FREE FOR EVERYONE 17 AND UNDER WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT ON BSO CONCERT DAYS.
