The BPR Holiday Concert Roundtable

Boston Public Radio once again convened its panel of musical experts to highlight the best Boston-area concerts, from today to well past the holidays. The BPR concert roundtable included WGBH's Edgar B. Herwick III, the man behind the Curiosity Desk; Rob Hochschild, director of communications at Berklee College; and Brian McCreath, on-air host at WCRB, and producer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra radio broadcast.

Many of the panelists' recommendations take place in or around the holidays — but not all of them are holiday-themed. For their complete list of recommendations, see below. To hear some of the music, click the audio above from the segment.
