Gale force winds fueled huge waves on the northern Great Lakes Tuesday with some on Lake Michigan topping out at 13 feet. For some residents in Michigan, the fall storm season is the time to hunker down — but for others it’s the perfect time to jump in the lake.

The Atlantic Harp Duo was formed in Paris, but the duo's harpists Marta Power and Elizabeth Jaxon each have deep roots in the Great Lakes region.

They're here in Northern Michigan on tour for their new album, Ariadne Rediviva. Power and Jaxon stopped by IPR's Studio B to talk about their new album and share some music.

Listen to the entire conversation, including excerpts of the new album, below.

Chris Correa is a senior at Interlochen Arts Academy. He is from Long Beach, California and studies oboe with Dane Philipsen.

Chris visited IPR’s Studio A to perform the etude "Boulevard des Capucines" by Gilles Silvestrini.

He told IPR why he enjoys the repertoire he's working on and how reed making class is going.

Listen below for the entire interview and performance.

In Studio A with Chris Correa was engineered by Brock Morman with production assistance from Zachary Sobania.

The Northland Players will put on a production of "Once Upon a Mattress" this weekend at the Cheboygan Opera House. The classic 1959 musical, at its time a star-maker for Carol Burnett, is based on the fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea" with music by Mary Rodgers and Marshall Barer.

Cast member Jim Sturgill, who plays The Jester in the show, stopped by Classical IPR to share some music from the show and talk about communities coming together as a volunteer artistic force.
