"We've been in business for more than 30 years, and if you ask me why my business succeeds, it's as much because of Tanglewood as any other factor. It is a wonderful institution, classic and of the very highest cultural quality and sophistication. It's one of our most important community assets, and a magnet for the visitors who keep so many local businesses healthy. It's an honor to be able to associate our name and business with Tanglewood."

"Being a Tanglewood Business partner has been such an honor for us. As a restaurant in the center of town, it was easy for us to see the impact that Tanglewood has on Lenox, the community, and our local economy. Tanglewood has been such a major part of the evolution of Lenox, and we are proud to be even a small part of that. We’d just like to say thank you to Tanglewood for all that you have done and continue to do for this community."

"My law firm has always been a member of Business Partners, because of our love of Tanglewood and the fact we represent so many of the businesses and institutions that rely on the draw of Tanglewood to provide the foundation of the Berkshire tourism economy. We urge all our young lawyers and staff to get to know Tanglewood and support the BSO, and they all love doing it. I know they will happily continue our tradition of full support of Tanglewood Business Partners in the years to come. I urge everyone to do the same."
