The performance, at 8:30 pm in the Koussevitzky Music Shed at the Tanglewood Festival's campus in Lenox, Massachusetts, will be of Mahler's Second Symphony, the "Resurrection." Joining the orchestra and Ozawa will be soprano Heidi Grant Murphy, contralto Nathalie Stutzmann and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.
