BUTI Celebrates 60 Years

Each summer, more than 400 students arrive at Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI) from across the country and around the world to study, perform, and grow in a setting that has inspired musicians for generations. After their summer(s) at BUTI, some appear with major orchestras and opera houses, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Others become chamber musicians, members of professional vocal ensembles, composers, conductors, educators, entrepreneurs, scholars, and advocates for the arts. Each carries forward the discipline, curiosity, and creativity that define the Tanglewood tradition.

This August we will honor six decades of artistic excellence and transformative music education with memorable celebrations of legacy, community, and music. Join in marking this historic milestone by attending or performing in side-by-side performance opportunities, an alumni mixer at Tanglewood, or our BUTI Benefit!
