Immerse yourself in glorious music on a mid-summer Saturday in the Berkshires, in the company of other musicians, sponsored by MassACDA. Itinerary includes morning dress rehearsal of Britten Spring Symphony and Vivaldi Gloria, conducted by Nicholas Cleobury at the Berkshire Choral Festival in Sheffield; buffet lunch; free time in Stockbridge; wine reception and talk at beautiful Stonover Farm B&B; independent picnic or dinner on Tanglewood grounds; and reserved discounted Tanglewood Shed ticket for the Verdi Requiem under the baton of Andris Nelsons.

At 34 years old, Latvian-born Andris Nelsons is the youngest music director to lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in more than 100 years. He arrives in Boston with a reputation for a rare combination of youthful dynamism and artistic substance. "The music seemed to move forward as if driven from within," said one reviewer.

Cost: $95 (everything but dinner); Optional round-trip bus from Amherst's Hampshire College, departs at 8 am, returns immediately after Tanglewood concert: $32. Register NOW online: massacda.org
