Berkshire Symphonic Festival

In 1934 a small group of summer residents conceived the idea of having a summer venue in the Berkshires to hear classical music. That idea coalesced into the Berkshire Symphonic Festival which was held on the giant horse track at Bonnie Brier, the estate of Dan Hanna in Interlaken. This from 1934 shows the earliest phase of what would become Stockbridge’s beloved Tanglewood.
