Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI) is a distinguished performer and training program rooted in a rich Berkshire County tradition. Founded in 1966 by invitation of BSO music director Erich Leinsdorf, BUTI sits on a 64-acre campus in Lenox, Massachusetts, adjacent to Tanglewood. The institute complements Tanglewood's musical ecosystem, offering rigorous programs that nurture the next generation of classical and jazz artists.

With a history of six performances in Seiji Ozawa Hall and a broader summer concert calendar around Lenox, BUTI is known for its hands-on training, world-class faculty, and opportunities to perform in public settings as part of the Summer Concert Series.

BUTI’s 2025 NEA Grants for Arts Projects supported the 2025 YAO and YAWE programs, underscoring the organization’s ongoing commitment to excellence in orchestral and wind performance. The institute will publish its 2025 faculty and guest artist rosters, two-week instrument workshops, and senior faculty leadership for YAO/YAWE, continuing its reputation as a premier training ground for young artists.
