This day-long event includes performances by students of the Berkshire Music Center featuring chamber music, orchestral music, brass fanfares, opera scenes, and choral works, culminating with a gala concert in the Shed. In 1946, following WWII, the benefit was renamed Tanglewood on Parade and has become an annual celebration and a fundraiser to support the activities of the Berkshire Music Center.
