Whether your family is vacationing or “stay-cationing” in the Berkshires over the February school vacation, there are events to keep you entertained and inspired all week long!

Everyone was delighted that such an improbably timed twist of meteorological fate would occur on the one day that Wotan would visit the Tanglewood grounds in person.
Now in his 30th year of delivering Tanglewood pre-concert lectures at Lenox Library, Yudkin treated the crowd to a boatload of fascinating but little-known details about three famous pieces of music and the men who created them.
Professor Yudkin literally wrote the book on music appreciation: Now in its eighth edition, “Understanding Music,“ is used by more than 20,000 students across North America every year.
Poets of all experience levels are welcome for an exploration of the Nick Cave installation “Until” at Mass MoCA, followed by a workshop with Carl Hancock Rux.
Organized by Boston University music professor Dr. Jeremy Yudkin, the Beatles music concert will feature musicians from the Berkshires and beyond recreating all the songs on the album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'
“Beethoven’s work,” Yudkin explains, “is of such a stature that it warrants constant reviewing and research. We’re dealing here with a genius of the highest purpose, someone on a par with William Shakespeare.”
