The Library Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for emerging professional orchestra librarians of exceptional potential to study at Tanglewood.

Under the guidance of BSO Assistant Librarian Russel Allyn, Library Fellows work with some of the world's most important conductors, preparing materials for all TMC Orchestra (TMCO) activities, including concerts, rehearsals, and masterclasses. Conductors in recent seasons have included BSO Music Director and Head of Conducting at Tanglewood Andris Nelsons, Thomas Adès, Gustavo Dudamel, Susanna Mälkki, Dima Slobodeniouk, and many more.

2025 Library Program

Library Fellows spend most of their day working at the TMC Orchestra Library at Ozawa Hall or attending rehearsals and performances in Ozawa Hall, the Theatre, the Shed, and elsewhere as library representatives.

2025 TMCO conductors and repertoire will include:

• Andris Nelsons leading Brahms Symphony No. 2 and Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique
• Esa-Pekka Salonen leading Stravinsky Rite of Spring
• Andrés Orozco-Estrada leading Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition
• Dima Slobodeniouk leading Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4
• Thomas Wilkins leading the Festival of Contemporary Music

In addition to work with the TMCO, each Fellow will be given significant time working across campus in the BSO Library with BSO Principal Librarian D. Wilson Ochoa and BSO Assistant Librarian Mark Fabulich, helping to prepare music for BSO rehearsals and BSO performances.

When not fulfilling the responsibilities of the fellowship, Fellows have the opportunity to attend all TMC and BSO rehearsals and concerts, as well as many of the rehearsals and masterclasses of other fellowship programs.
