WGBH
and PRX are collaborating to present a live public radio broadcast on Memorial
Day weekend featuring acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma. PRX is making the special,
one-time only, broadcast available to all affiliated stations for free.
The
live event will happen this coming Sunday, May 24th from 3:00pm to
5:30pm Eastern Time. Contact PRX for carriage details.
According
to John Barth, Chief Content Officer at PRX, Yo-Yo Ma proposed this special
performance both in memory of those we have lost during the pandemic and as a
tribute to those who are on the front lines.
The 2.5-hour program program will be performed live in the WGBH studios. The host for the concert broadcast is Brian McCreath from WGBH’s sister station WCRB. McCreath is host of the Boston Symphony Orchestra broadcasts and producer/host of The Bach Hour.
