The Boston Children’s Chorus is on a mission to give the city’s youth a voice by giving them the power to transcend social barriers by celebrating a shared love of music. Part of the mission includes the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute Concert. Ahead of this year’s event at Symphony Hall, we’ll talk to the chorus’ Executive Director Andrés Holder.
Then, it’s an entirely different performance, one that literally makes concert goers a captive audience: Madonna’s Celebrate Tour. Why does she notoriously make fans wait hours before she takes to the stage to express herself? GBH’s Haley Lerner joins us to recap the Madonna experience at TD Garden.
From there we’ll talk to Giselle Byrd, the newly appointed leader of Boston’s Theater Offensive, which makes art by and for queer and transgender people of color.
Finally, we’ll increase your origami awareness by way of MIT’s Beyond The Fold event.
