estival Offers Good Music in Picturesque Setting
SDAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
By DAVID KESSEL
The 1958 Berkshire Festival at
Tanglewood, near Lenox, Massa-
3husetts, is nearly finished hav-
ing provided audiences with many
evenings of musical entertainment
of the highest order.
The Tanglewood setting is ideal:
the huge music shed filled with
thousands of csanvas-back seats is
in the midst of a well-kept estate
in the Berkshire mountains. The
orchestra, together with any ne-
cessary choral groups, plays from
the elevated stage of this shed, a
pie-shaped affair put together
with immense steel beams and
covered with redwood planks.'
Behind the last seats, there 'ex-
tends a'great expanse of lawn for
the sitting peasants who eat pic-
nic lunches or listen to portable
radios, or strai nto hear the music
which occasionally drifts from the
Shed, as the wind currents
change.
Audience Arrives
The grounds at Tanglewood fill
slowly in the afternoon, with visi-
tors- from all directions driving
into the ample parking areas,
then entering through the main
gate, with exhibits, refreshments,
and a music store nearby.
Box seat holders have their own
parking lot, adjoining the Shed,
but these robber barons, who can
pay $110 for a six-seat box every
weekend are not to be discussed
here.
There is a semi-indoor refresh-
ment section, with not unreason-
ably preposterou's prices, where
friends may gather before con-
certs, or during intermission, or
whenever the music fails to
charm, which is seldom.
Records Available
The music store offers a vast
collection of miniature scores, re-
cordings (of the Boston Sym-
phony, of course) and miscella-
neous busts of great composers,
along with souvenir postcards,
and, one presumes, ear plugs for
the uncivilized.
Anyone who wanders about
Tnglewood at any length will
eventually come across one of a
number of small outsized out-
houses containing not what one
might expect, but instead a care-
fully tuned piano, and several
chairs with music stands.
This should tell an astute ob-
server that a music school is op-
erated here, and so it is; the Berk-
shire Music Center, a summer
school 'maintaned by the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra, located
at Tanglewood, is now in its six-
teenth year. Conductors, singers,
composers, and orchestral players
come from the United States and
abroad to study..
Anxious Audience
One might expect audiences at
at Tanglewood to represent the
highest order of musical intelli-
gence, but this appears to be not
necessarily true.

LOOKING TOWARD THE MUSIC SHED-Music-lovers hurry for comfortable seats on the lawn
outside, while reserved seat ticket holders liesurely drink orangeade. and' stroll over the grounds A
few in the know have set up lawn chairs, while still others prepare picnic lunches and tune in the
ball game on portable radios. Large structure in background is rear of the music shed.
FISH BOWL-Tourists wander through this exhibition of musical
odds and ends after parking outside, while waiting for the concert
to begin. Piano at left is tuned to exactly 256.04591 cycles per
second, but has no other claim to fame. This exhibition adjoins
the box office, and the parking lot may be seen through its
windows.
Pierre Monteux was amazed to
hear applause somewhere near the
end of Brahm's Academic Festival
Overture, which not. everyone
knows yet, it seems.
Some impatient box seat hold-
ers, anxious to get to their park-
ing lot, had mistaken some penul-
timate chord for "the end," and
got a minor revolution almost
started.
And so there is something at
Tanglewood for everyone, even ap-
plause starters. The music is prob-
ably the best to be found any-
where in this country, the scenery
is among the most spectacular, the
audience is fairly congeinal, the
ticket-takers are fairly polite, and
the weather is usually fine.
GREW UP IN ANN ARBOR:

Raised in Ann Arbor
Rogers was born in Waterloo,
N.Y., in 1825. About 1833, his fam-
ily moved to Ann Arbor, where he
grew up. In 1835, he worked in the
local bakery of Calvin and' Bliss,
where, as the story goes, he
modeled figures in dough and
butter.
Between 1846 and 1848 he made
woodcuts for the Ann Arbor news-
paper, "The Michigan Argus," and
was paid $10 for a wood engraving
of a log cabin and flags. This later
became the emblem for William
Henry Harrison's political cam-
paign in 1840.
Studied Abroad
In 1848, when he was 23 years
old, Rogers went to New York,
where he worked in the dry-goods
store of Edgerton and Stewart.
Whilie in New York, he modeled
the children- of his employerand
also did a bust of Lord Byron.
His employer was so impressed
with his work that he offered to
provide the means for study
abroad, so between 1848 and 1851
he studied at the art academy in
Florence.
Towards the end of his study
there he did a bust entitled "Night"
and the statue of "Ruth Gleaning."
Proceeds from the sale of these
pieces enabled him to repay his
former employers in New York.
TANGLEWOOD MUSIC STORE-In this three-sided structure, the Berkshire Festival Authority sells pocket scores for following
concerts, recordings of the Boston Symphony and Pops, busts of famous composers, and souvenir postcards. Business is usually not
particularly brisk, but scores of the upcoming programs are on hand for the curious to scan; also recent recordings not available
elsewhere. Young lady at left was busily studying the "Brahms German Requiem" score just before the performance Saturday night.
