It’s hard to put into words a response after yesterday's attack on the Capitol.
We are human though, and we care deeply about our country and communities. Yesterday’s events underscore the challenges facing our democracy, as well as the hypocrisy in how our black, brown and other minority communities are treated when voicing concerns about our country.
As a brand, we remain committed to making a difference locally by highlighting the best of our cities and standing up where we can make Boston better. It is an honor to be a part of our community, and we intend to continue to bring people together in 2021.

The Ghost Light Series is a live music program filmed onstage at the Wang Theatre.
