The Boston Symphony Orchestra has announced that this summer’s Tanglewood on Parade will be dedicated to the late Seiji Ozawa, who was the Orchestra’s Music Director Laureate.

As such, there will be additional programs that pay homage to the famed conductor, including a “Tanglewood on Parade” concert on August 6 featuring such artists as Christine Goerke, and the Marcus Roberts Trio, among others.

“The 2024 Tanglewood season offers so much to look forward to, and these additions to the schedule make it one of our best summers ever,” said Chad Smith, President and CEO of Boston Symphony Orchestra. “When we lost Seiji Ozawa last February, we immediately started planning a tribute, and we all agreed that Tanglewood would be the most fitting place to hold it. Seiji began his decades-long relationship with the BSO in 1960 as a student at the Tanglewood Music Center, and he especially loved being at Tanglewood during the 29 summers that he was our music director. He particularly loved Tanglewood on Parade, and this year we are organizing it in Seiji’s memory. I am also very excited about the three eminent speakers who will join us for this year’s Spotlight Series; each one is a thought leader who will help us better understand ourselves, each other, and our world, and how music connects us all.”

Ozawa collaborated with the Boston Symphony Orchestra starting in 1970 when he became one of the artistic directors of the Berkshire Music Festival in Tanglewood. Then he became music director in 1973, a position he held for 29 years.
