About this Event

In association with Jan. 29-31 Boston Symphony Orchestra presentations of "Good News Mass." Get tickets for "Good News Mass" .

Enjoy a live taping of "Vibe Check," the weekly podcast where Saeed Jones (poet and essayist, “How We Fight For Our Lives,” “Alive at the End of the World”) and Zach Stafford (journalist and Tony Award-winning producer, “A Strange Loop”) make sense of what’s going on in news and culture – and how it all feels.

Carlos Simon, Deborah and Philip Edmundson Composer Chair for Boston Symphony Orchestra, joins the duo for a conversation on being a composer in America today and the development of his "Good News Mass," a new BSO co-commission that draws deeply on the gospel music he learned growing up in his father’s church.

Musical selections from "Good News Mass" will open and close the show.
