Gala Livestream

IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!

Your City, Your Story is finally here! We will see you this evening for a deep dive into Reset’s Re-Imagine Chicago and other insights from the WBEZ newsroom, behind-the-scenes stories from CPM staff and songs by Vocalo favorites. Performances include Chicago standout Ric Wilson with an original session performed just for our audience, powerhouse singer-songwriter Sarah Marie Young, and the multi-disciplinary Sir the Baptist, who will be performing brand new music!

With special appearances by Michel Martin (All Things Considered), Peter Sagal (Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!), Sam Sanders (It’s Been A Minute), Scott Simon (Weekend Edition Saturday, Up First), Glynn Washington (Snap Judgement) and Jenn White (1A).
