Dan,
There are many different facets to the Tanglewood Music Center.
It is at the same time, an all-inclusive concert venue, the summer home
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the site of two seperate summer
music camps. One is the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI),
which is for High School kids only, and the other is the Tanglewood
Festival, which is for college age and older "young professionals". This
is the group whose orchestra is called the Tanglewood Festival Orchestra.
