Other highlights include Anne-Sophie Mutter as conductor and soloist for an all-Mozart program (July 13) and Pinchas Zukerman leading an all-Bach program (August 10).

Yo-Yo Ma presents his Silk Road Ensemble (June 22 and 24) and is also soloist with the BSO (August 11). Returning guests also include Joshua Bell, Yefim Bronfman, Nelson Freire, Gil Shaham, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Gerhard Oppitz performs Brahms’s complete solo piano music in a series of Ozawa Hall recitals; the Mark Morris Dance Group returns for its annual collaboration with Tanglewood Music Center musicians; and Bernadette Peters makes a rare Tanglewood appearance with the Boston Pops. The inimitable James Taylor performs his “James Taylor at Tanglewood” show on July 2, 3 and 4.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra gratefully acknowledges the support of the following major corporate sponsors for the 2012 Tanglewood season:

Tanglewood proudly celebrates its 75th anniversary paying tribute to its history while also looking to the future. As part of the festivities, Tanglewood will release a daily free digital audio stream from the Tanglewood archives on tanglewood.org, with each item to be available for purchase after the 24-hour free sampling period; a Tanglewood Music Center master class aimed toward the next generation of aspiring musicians will be presented online weekly to worldwide audiences; a new lecture series, “Concerning Music and Society,” will feature a critics’ forum as well as discussions on music and technology and film music. And 75 new trees will be planted throughout the Tanglewood grounds to enhance the already glorious surroundings. The musical programming that of course makes up the heart of the Festival will honor historic moments in Tanglewood history while also looking forward to future collaborations with icons of the classical music world.

The Gala Anniversary Concert on Saturday, July 14, will feature performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, with conductors Keith Lockhart, John Williams, and Andris Nelsons, and special guests including Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Peter Serkin, longtime Tanglewood friend James Taylor, and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. The opening BSO concert (July 6) will be an all-Beethoven program, led by Christoph von Dohnányi, replicating the BSO’s very first program at Tanglewood in 1937. An all-Wagner concert (July 21) will duplicate the 1937 program that was interrupted by a powerful thunderstorm, leading to the construction of the Koussevitzky Music Shed. In addition, with conductor Christoph Eschenbach on the podium, the BSO repeats a famous 1986 program that made headlines when conducted originally by Leonard Bernstein (July 20).
