Tanglewood is a place name — an estate in the hills of western Massachusetts, in the United States, that has been the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1937. Concerts are held outdoors: there is a big open-sided wooden hall called the Shed, and around it a wide lawn where thousands of people sit on blankets with picnics and listen from outside, which is a large part of why Americans know the name. It is also a serious training place for young musicians — the Tanglewood Music Center — and many well-known conductors, players and composers have studied or taught there, so among classical musicians 'he went to Tanglewood' says something about his training. Being a proper noun it always takes a capital T and no 'the': at Tanglewood, the Tanglewood Festival. You will meet it in newspaper arts pages, in musicians' biographies, and in TOEIC-style listening about summer concerts. The name itself is borrowed from a book: Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote 'Tanglewood Tales' while living nearby, and the estate took its name from that.
