Welcome to Intermezzo from Interlochen Public Radio, where we take a few minutes to bounce some ideas around about classical music.
Christy L'Esperance will be exploring music and life lessons from the musical "Wicked" with her co-host this week, 12-year-old Quinn.
"Wicked" teaches us about friendship, the power of confidence, propaganda, good and evil and free will. Yesterday we talked about unlikely friendships and today we're exploring the power of confidence.
The film showcases strong female characters, like Elphaba and Glinda, who challenge societal norms and fight for what they believe in.
Stephen Schwartz - "The Wizard And I"
George Gershwin - "Rhapsody in Blue"

It's time to test your ears. Each week we have a mystery melody that we have to figure out together. It relates to our topic. (We'll make the melody less mysterious each day.)
If you know the mystery melody, text your name and the title and we’ll give you a shout out on Friday. The number to text is (833) 490-4718.
