"New Tanglewood Tales" will also include footage of the Fellows at work with some of the world's most prestigious conductors, including BSO Music Director Designate Andris Nelsons,who will lead Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in excerpts from Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier on July 12, as part of a gala program that will also feature the Boston Symphony Orchestra performing works by Rachmaninoff and Ravel. In addition to these many and varied musical activities, this new web series will also offer viewers a glimpse at the personal lives of these Fellows as they navigate the world between being a student and a professional musician.
