Known for donning a mask, the South African-born country star is far from hiding his true self or shying away from his identity and sexuality.

Celebrate the season with the GBH Music Holiday Spectacular, a family-friendly concert and an opportunity for music lovers to be part of a live television production at GBH’s headquarters in Brighton. Hear holiday music from the Renaissance and beyond, including festive Jazz favorites with a harp and violin duo from the Boston Pops; a mesmerizing blend of voice, baroque harp, and harpsichord, with soprano Amanda Forsythe and members of the Boston Early Music Festival Vocal and Chamber Ensembles; Fabiola Méndez, a captivating vocalist and Puerto Rican cuatro player; the Rich Greenblatt Group, a dynamic vibraphone jazz trio; Voices Boston, an inspirational children’s choir led by Dan Ryan; and the Boston University Trumpet Ensemble, injecting a little festive brass into the mix. GBH's Calderwood Studio will be decorated in the spirit of the season, as we salute the beginning of winter and revel in the harmony and warmth of this time of year with traditional carols and unique seasonal compositions.
