LENOX â With a limited number of Tanglewood tickets for the general public going on sale this Monday, the Boston Symphony has detailed how ongoing COVID-19 health and safety issues will affect concertgoers during the July 9-Aug. 16 festival season.
Since donor pre-sales have been ongoing for five weeks, itâs unclear how many coveted tickets remain for high-profile events such as the BSOâs opening night concert with Music Director Andris Nelsons; John Williamsâ Film Night, with the beloved composer-conductor scheduled to attend, and for performances featuring celebrated soloists such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax.
The status of the Popular Artists series, potentially in late summer, is still very fluid, according to BSO Artistic Administrator and Director of Tanglewood Tony Fogg, including the James Taylor concert, tentatively slated for Aug. 31.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is outlining safety protocols for this summer’s shortened season at Tanglewood.
On a virtual town meeting Monday, BSO Chief Financial Officer Evelyn Barnes laid out some of the new measures in place for when the Lenox, Massachusetts concert venue reopens for the first time since 2019 on July 9th.
“Masks are required. Everyone on campus will be expected to wear masks, with limited exceptions when you re actively eating and drinking, said Barnes. Also, of course, when you re blowing a wind instrument, that would be another way to do that.”
During the six-week season, social distancing will be required of attendees and all events will take place outdoors.
