April 3, 2024 - Jeff Beal, James Brown in Boston, and American infrastructure

The Emmy award-winning composer Jeff Beal. You might not know it, but you’ve heard his work. He gave us the theme song to “House of Cards,” which became an anthem for power and corruption. He added even more splashes of color to the Oscar-winning film Pollock. Now his work brings him to Boston, to lead the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra in an upcoming concert. From there, when music saved Boston. We get a preview of a James Brown tribute concert, marking the anniversary of the night the “Godfather of Soul” brought peace to a restless city in the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. Finally, with the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, the president of Boston Architectural College, Mahesh Daas is here to talk about how we compare to other nations when it comes to investing in our infrastructure.
