TMCO Personnel Manager

Since its founding in 1940 with the mission of providing a “unique opportunity for a summer of living and working in music” the Tanglewood Music Center has been the premiere summer music festival for young musicians in the United States. Around 130 TMC Fellows attend the TMC each summer to focus on their studies in six programs:
Composition, Conducting, Instrumental, Library, Piano, and Vocal Arts. TMC Fellows reside on the campus of Miss Hall’s School in Pittsfield, MA and attend daily rehearsals, classes, and perform concerts on the Tanglewood campus nearby in Lenox. The TMC’s faculty and guest artists are world class and without parallel, and a summer at TMC is seen by many as the final link between a first-rate musical education and a full-time professional career.
