Boston Symphony Announces Tanglewood's Linde Center For Music And Learning

Tanglewood’s major new four-building multi-use complex for performance and learning will be named the Linde Center for Music and Learning in recognition of leadership gifts made by Joyce and Edward H. Linde and their family.

Construction of the new facilities will be completed early this year ahead of a June 2019 opening.

The Linde Center will dramatically increase the learning and rehearsal space for the Tanglewood Music Center and will serve as a home to the Tanglewood Learning Institute’s programming - a new wide-ranging initiative of dynamic, engaging, and thought-provoking activities launching in summer 2019.

These new buildings will be Tanglewood’s first year-round facilities available for event and performance use by the BSO and TLI, Berkshire community, and beyond. Mark Volpe is the President and CEO of The Boston Symphony.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
