Each July and August, the orchestra joins up with the Boston Pops on 500 beautiful acres in the Berkshire Mountains for a sizzling series that also features the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, James Taylor, and the Festival of Contemporary Music.   The Tanglewood Music Festival celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2012 with big-name stars from the music world, including John Williams, the Boston Pops Laureate Conductor, the Grammy award-winning rock group Evanescence, Chevelle, and three-time Grammy award-winning rockers Train. Pop sensation Andy Grammer and singer/songwriter Mat Kearney from Nashville will open for Train. The grand finale on Labor Day weekend will be an “American Songbook” concert with the Boston Pops, Michael Feinstein, and Christine Ebersole being led by Boston Symphony Orchestra Youth and Family Conductor Thomas Wilkins.
