Tanglewood: the MacDowell Artists' Colony

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Thornton Wilder and Willa Cather are just some of the artists who have spent time at the MacDowell Colony in New England, built around the summer home of composer Edward MacDowell. Christopher Cook talks to the American artists, writers and composers who leave the city to find their creative muses, and finds that paradise can have its problems too.
