2020 NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT
May 24, 2020  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
For the first time, and for obvious reasons, this annual concert tribute to the military and its veterans is being held not on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, but as a virtual celebration. The bad news: This circumstance allows for a lot less pomp. The good news: It allows for a bigger roster of celebrity attendees, which now is scheduled to include George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow and others. Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise, who hosted last year’s in-person concert, do the same for this virtual version. Performers include Cynthia Erivo, Renee Fleming and the National Symphony Orchestra. Check local listings.
