Though it may be hard to imagine sunny festival season in the midst of a snowy New England winter, we've got a list of upcoming concerts in a range of genres to lift your spirits and and take you out of hibernation.
For our concert roundtable, we're joined by WCRB’s Brian McCreath, the producer of WCRB’s Boston Symphony Orchestra broadcasts, the executive producer of WCRB In Concert, and host of an interview podcast from WCRB called The Answered Question.
