March 21, 2024 - Message in a Bottle, living with vitiligo, and the BSO's Wayne Shorter gift card

What happens when you mix Sting’s greatest hits with the power of hip-hop dance? You get “Message in a Bottle.” It’s a fusion dreamed up by Kate Prince, one of England’s most acclaimed choreographers…resulting in a production that addresses the international refugee crisis. And told from the point of view of a family displaced by civil war. Prince joins us ahead of the show’s New England premiere discussing what inspired her to weave Sting’s songbook into a high-voltage show. From there, a new documentary tells the story of five women living with Vitiligo, from the stigma, to the isolation, to finding strength and community. Then, WCRB’s Brian McCreath joins us fresh from Symphony Hall, with a preview of a weekend concert honoring the life and legacy of the great jazz innovator and saxophonist, Wayne Shorter.
