Hi there,
There's so much going on for music lovers this weekend! As both Laura and Mark Calder are telling you in their blogs this week, we are thrilled to be part of Boston's 4th of July celebrations again this year at the Hatch Shell. We'll be basking in the ambience of the Esplanade starting at noon on Saturday, and we'll be featuring the great patriotic marches and anthems that are part of our American Heritage all day. Then, Laura and I get to host the big event: the Boston Pops concert with Keith Lockhart and special guest Neil Diamond.
If it weren't for the 4th, our big news would be the start of another season of great live BSO music from Tanglewood! Larry King will host the broadcasts once again this year....and we will have live concerts on WCRB Friday night at 8:30 and Sunday afternoon at 2:30!
It's been a tough year for many of us. We've all seen friends lose jobs, and many of us are finding it more difficult to make ends meet these days, but even so....America is still an awesome country! I think it's important to reflect on what we DO have on this holiday....and celebrate who we are as a country....collectively and individually!
I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!
As always,
Mark
