On
Thursday, July 23, at 8
p.m.(EDT), at www.tanglewood .org, the
first-ever Tanglewood
Virtual Gala will
celebrate the centennial
of legendary American
violinist Isaac
Stern, one of the
most prominent artists
and cultural figures of
the 20th century. The
Boston Symphony
Orchestra has taken its
annual Tanglewood Gala
online this year as a
way to raise funds
during this period of
lost ticket revenue due
to the hiatus from live
performances in response
to continuing concerns
over the COVID-19
pandemic.

group of generous donors,
amplifying the impact on the BSO
and Tanglewood

One of the most
anticipated events of every
Tanglewood season, the
Tanglewood Gala is one of the
orchestra’s major annual
fundraisers that typically
brings together a myriad of
notable musicians, for the
purpose of commemorating a
composer anniversary, honoring a
significant cultural figure, or
marking an important milestone
in the history of the orchestra.
The 2020 Tanglewood Gala was,
from the beginning, intended to
celebrate the legacy of Isaac
Stern (1920-2001), acknowledged
worldwide as one of the 20th
century’s most prominent
artists.
Recognizing the significance and
broad appeal of its gala Isaac
Stern tribute, scheduled for
July 23, the orchestra has
assembled a unique online
program combining new and
archival content, to be hosted
by Ara
Guzelimian ,
Artistic and Executive Director
of the Ojai Festival and former
Provost and Dean of the
Juilliard School. Emanuel
Ax , Leon
Fleisher , Yo-Yo
Ma , Gil
Shaham , Jian
Wang , John
Williams ,
and Pinchas
Zukerman will
provide their personal
remembrances of Isaac Stern, and
three of today’s most
distinguished violinists— Vadim
Gluzman (playing
Bartók), Midori (playing
Bach), and Nancy
Zhou (also
playing Bach)—offer both their
performances and their own
reminiscences. Rounding out the
program will be archival footage
of Isaac Stern himself. Although
the COVID-19 pandemic
necessitated the cancellation of
the entire Tanglewood season,
the BSO has responded with an
unprecedented array of new and
retrospective online offerings, Tanglewood
2020 Online Festival ,
available online at
www.tanglewood.org. For the
