Events in Lenox, MA

Lenox is where Tanglewood is, which means Lenox is where the Boston Symphony Orchestra spends the summer. The lawn seats are $25 and you can bring your own food, which is the most democratic thing about the whole operation. The main-stage summer pop and jazz shows are the plot_413 angle — James Taylor plays here annually, others vary.

The Linde Center for Music and Learning is the Tanglewood facility that runs year-round with smaller, more intimate shows — chamber music, jazz, emerging artists. Worth watching even off-season.

Shakespeare & Company has been doing professional theater in Lenox since 1978 — multiple stages, summer season plus winter programming. Free preview performances are the entry point.
