Benedict Music Tent

The new Benedict Music Tent seats 2,050 beneath a swelling white dome reminiscent of a schooner under sail. Patrons sit on long wooden benches that fan out from a sunken stage, or flop on a sloping lawn dotted with birch trees. The skirt of the tent consists of 180 vertical louvers in blue that open to the lawn and the mountains in good weather and that can be closed against wind and rain.
