Feast of Music covers live music in NYC, and occasionally other places. Launched in 2007, it aspires to give equal voice to all kinds of music: everything from an indie show in a Williamsburg dive, to an orchestra concert in Carnegie Hall.

But for me, there's always been one real reason to make the three hour drive up the Taconic over the past three decades: Tanglewood, the annual music festival which has filled this sylvan paradise with some of the world's best music since 1937. Much more than just a classical music festival, Tanglewood has always thrived on its dual identity as both the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and one of the world's leading training grounds for young musicians. (It's now also a place of..

This summer, Clive apparently decided it was time to do something a bit more ambitious, as Carnegie hosted it's first-ever World Orchestra Week: seven consecutive nights of concerts by youth orchestras from around the world, alongside NYO-USA and NYO2. In a radio interview on WQXR, Gillinson said that World Orchestra Week - or WOW - was a direct response to a world of increasing chaos and conflict, be it Russia's invasion of Ukraine or the ongoing war in Gaza. The concept was..

Attendance has long been problematic for the Philly concerts at SPAC - last Saturday, the amphitheater was less than half-full - but noone seemed to mind, what with New Kids on the Block coming in the following night. For a while now, classical music has been a loss leader at SPAC, with most of the center's income derived from the shows booked by Live Nation, many of which sell out.

They do all kinds of shows at SPAC: everything from dance, to jazz, to rock and pop. The multi-purpose amphitheater is similar in size to the Koussevitzky Shed at Tanglewood (5100 seats), but in a different configuration, with two levels of highly raked seats down to the stage below. (An additional 20,000 can be accommodated on the even-steeper lawn outside, though the view from there has never been great.) Fringed by tall pines and a running stream, it is an attractive place to spend a warm..

As far as I'm concerned, summer's all about seeing music outdoors, whether it's at the beach, in a park, or out of town. Better still if it's in a place that has multiple forms of entertainment, such as Saratoga Springs, NY with its many fine restaurants, shops, gardens and, well, horses. For me, a good day in Saratoga has a formula: go to the farmers market in the morning, fill your water bottle at High Rock Spring, then check out the shops on Broadway before heading to the track.
