    Details
    The Tanglewood Picnic: Music and Outdoor Feasts in the Berkshires by Gina Hyams celebrates the eight-decade tradition of picnicking on the lawn at Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home in Lenox, Massachusetts. This gift book includes 150 photos of Tanglewood picnickers from the 1940s through the present from the Boston Symphony Orchestra Archives and audience members' family scrapbooks; a dozen classic picnic recipes (summer corn pudding, lobster sliders, brownies...); the ultimate Tanglewood picnic checklist; and foreword by best-selling cookbook author Alana Chernila.

    To picnic at Tanglewood is to participate in a grand tradition. Since 1937, music lovers have there to picnic during concerts. The 526-acre campus is a picnicker's paradise of sweeping lawns, woods, and a formal garden. Both the Koussevitzky Music Shed (a.k.a. the Shed ) and Seiji Ozawa Hall are open sided, designed so that the music pours out of the concert halls to be shared with patrons sitting on the grass.

    The Tanglewood Picnic: Music and Outdoor Feasts in the Berkshires is a collective love letter to a beloved tradition. It serves as both a tribute to past picnics and as inspiration for future ones.

    The Tanglewood Picnic was named a finalist in the 2015 USA Best Book Awards Cookbooks: Regional category and Christopher Hixson won the Graphic Design USA 2015 Book Design Award for his work on the book.

    Hardcover, 112 pages.
