New year and new events at KQED!
Happy New Year!
As we take our first steps into 2022, we can’t wait to bring you a compelling winter season of informative screenings, inspiring live performances, involving discussions, and much more at KQED’s The Commons and online!
We are excited to announce the launch of a new KQED Live YouTube channel, where you can watch many of our past programs and tune in for our events live! We hope you’ll subscribe and like the videos of your favorite events!
We also want to update you about measures we are taking in the face of the current omicron variant’s case surge in the Bay Area to ensure the health and safety of our audience and program guests. Our events slated for January — including Brontez Purnell with Forum, What You Can Do About Climate Change, and Night of Ideas — will either be postponed to a later date or shift to streaming-only. Ticket-holders will receive direct messages about changes.
Please check individual event listings or stay tuned to our newsletter for updates and look at our Plan Your Visit page for new safety requirements for attendees as we continue to keep a close eye on community public health indicators.
In the meantime, we hope you’ll check out some of the exciting upcoming events and make KQED Live the way you connect more deeply with the heart of your community through the new year!
