This year, it will feature performances by singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge, pop performer Andy Grammer, Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr., and Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell, all under the direction of maestro Keith Lockhart.

The patriotic performance had an uncertain future after David Mugar, the co-founder and longtime executive producer of the show, retired in 2016 after more than four decades. However, it was announced in March that investment firm Eaton Vance had agreed to fund the event for at least three years, and that Bloomberg Television had signed on as the show’s new media partner. Therefore, the show will be broadcast on Bloomberg Television. It had previously been broadcast on CBS.

For Comcast subscribers in the Greater Boston area, Bloomberg TV is found on channel 45, 757, or 844, depending on where you live. If you have DISH, it’s channel 203; Verizon, it’s channel 203; DirecTV, it’s channel 353.
