Here, under the guidance of distinguished
professionals and in the presence of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, young people devote
themselves each summer to an artistic experience
without parallel. For any student of high school
age who enjoys being challenged by the highest
standards, BUTI represents a unique opportunity;

informal, of joy and hard work. No one who
spends a summer at Tanglewood leaves untouched
by the experience.
•The spectacular panoramic landscapes viewed

the music world include: Leonard Bernstein
(composer, conductor, soloist), Seiji Ozawa

Michael Daugherty (composer), Burt Bacharach
(pianist & pop music composer), John Adams
(composer), Eiji Oue (former Minnesota Orchestra
conductor) and many others! Since 1936,
Tanglewood has provided an extraordinary
opportunity for students and “serious music
lovers” to immerse themselves in the world of
classical music at the highest artistic levels
possible while surrounded by the natural beauty
of the Berkshires.
