On a recent sweltering afternoon, students conversed on the cafete
ria’s terrace, and one young man, lost in the score in front of him, played
an invisible string instrument. All the studios were in full swing. People

Chopin filling the space. Beyond the pupil and mentor, the oak leaves
wavered in the breeze as curious visitors paused to take in the scene, just
as the architects intended, extending Tanglewood’s legacy by engaging
with the making of music from yet another vantage point. n
