Visit www.tanglewood.org or call 1-888-266-1200 to purchase tickets. Many programs sell-out immediately (James Taylor). The earlier you reserve your tickets, either indoor or the lawn, the better chance you will have to enjoy the concert in the seats of your choice.

This years season begins on June 19th with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys performing 'Pet Sounds', which is considered one of the top ten albums in rock music history.
