Popular Post aviazn 273 Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 Article in the Berkshire Eagle: Quote LENOX — The main gate at Tanglewood has a dramatic new look this season, thanks to the installation of a sculpture honoring the music festival's founding father, Serge Koussevitzky. The work by sculptor Penelope Jencks, unveiled at a Monday afternoon ceremony, was commissioned by John Williams, the third and last in a series he has funded honoring the three famous musicians, including Leonard Bernstein and composer Aaron Copland, who were central to the Boston Symphony's summer home and its academy for young musicians. And a cute anecdote about his own changing societal views: Quote Williams recalled having seen the statue of Eleanor Roosevelt in Manhattan's Riverside Park many years ago. When he decided Tanglewood needed permanent monuments to composer Copland, Bernstein and Koussevitzky, he figured that "the guy who did that Eleanor Roosevelt, that's my man. That was maybe before my reconstruction in the gender age, so it turned out that my man was my lady, and that is Penelope."

Doesn't he live over at Tanglewood for several months each year? I recall reading that somewhere. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 There's no single person more important to the cause of American music in that era (1920s-40s) than Koussevitzky. I'm very glad Williams has added him to his commissioned busts at Tanglewood alongside Copland and Bernstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
