Smeltington 1,600 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Potter/Star Wars concerts back to back would make a nice weekend of Williams music. Music from "All nine" films means I can finally hear something from TLJ and TROS live! And hearing live prequel music would also be a treat.

rpvee 856 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 What a wonderful lineup! Glad the Film Night tradition is continuing and back to normal. The birthday tribute last year was cute, but I definitely prefer the Maestro on the podium verses in the audience! haha I do wonder why he isn’t doing the May/June Boston concerts anymore. It’s been years now since the last one, since even before the pandemic. The last time he conducted in Boston, it was those few random October 2021 concerts, and that’s just because they were recording Violin 2. I miss those late spring/early summer Film Nights in Symphony Hall itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,742 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'd love to attend Film Night and Sorcerer's Stone! I dunno how much I'd enjoy On Parade Star Wars: The Story in Music intrigues me, is this new, or is this the old tour w/ sequel stuff added to the end?

Even if it's the same selections (and I'm sure many will be the same) it'll be great to hear them in this setting that will make for more serious listening, vs in an arena. I had tickets for this show previously, but it was canceled due to covid. I don't THINK it got rescheduled at all until now, unless I'm mistaken. 5 minutes ago, rpvee said: I do wonder why he isn’t doing the May/June Boston concerts anymore. I really hope he does something in Boston this year... but they haven't announced their upcoming season yet. I wish they would announce it at the same time as Tanglewood!

There are some very affordable tickets, under $100. I forget what the upper range is. Get a seat inside the shed... the lawn is fun, but you can't see anything from there.

Brando 2,179 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I was thinking of going to the Hollywood Bowl, but I might do this instead since I've never been.

rpvee 856 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Unlikely question - is anyone traveling to this from Boston, or even NYC? I’m coming from NYC, and getting to Tanglewood during the day is fine, but I’m trying to figure out what to do after the concert without a car (or even license lol). Hotels in the area are ridiculously expensive. If I could carpool with someone after, I’d happily chip in for gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on tickets becoming available as shed tickets are currently sold out, but usually I go to Albany where lodging is much cheaper after the show. There'd be Greyhound service to NYC from there, though waiting for the bus in that area at at night might be a little sketchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hooper 3,541 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi, this is my first post! Nice to meet you all! I'm beyond excited to be going to Film Night and to see Williams in person for the first time. It's been a bucket list item of mine for many years. 'The Asteroid Field' has always been a favorite, so I was thrilled to see it included in the set list. I'm also wondering about transportation after the concert, since I understand that it can be pretty chaotic with all the people leaving and it might be hard getting a taxi... I wonder if a shuttle bus service exists that brings concertgoers back into town. I'll have to inquire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,381 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I've been to Tanglewood back in 2014 and we walked back from Tanglewood to Lennox after the concert. It's a nice evening walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hooper 3,541 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Per Google, it's a pretty straightforward 1.6 mile/34 minute walk to the centre of town. I just might do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpvee 856 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 The only problem with walking after is that while there is a sidewalk, I don’t recall any streetlights, so you’re essentially walking in the dark besides the cars passing by on the street.
