Organized in the spring of 1970 by founding conductor John Oliver, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus celebrated its thirty-fifth anniversary in 2005. This season with James Levine and the BSO at Symphony Hall, the chorus performs Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Mozart’s Requiem (paired on the BSO’s opening subscription program), Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (as part of the orchestra’s complete Beethoven symphony cycle), and Mendelssohn’s Elijah (in the work’s first BSO performances since 1980, which also featured the TFC).
