Ah, tension is awful when playing. I get very nervous sometimes and make terrible mistakes. A couple of things I've found:

1. I'm less tense if I'm well-rested. Sounds silly but good sleep the night or a nap before rehearsal or a concert seems to help a lot.

2. There are a number of relaxation exercises around. The type I've found most helpful involved some slow deep breathing and a serious of exercises involving the tensing and relaxing of certain muscles. If you Google Relaxation Techniques, you should find several variants one which might be comfortable for you.

Good luck!
