Kids Commute - Bernstein Week! Tuesday

The Governor of Buenos Aires wishes Candide "Bon Voyage" - on a leaky ship! Interlochen Public Radio - classical music appreciation for kids!

Hey Kids Commuters! Welcome to Day Two of Bernstein Week on IPR's Kids Commute! This week, we're looking at the life and career of Leonard Bernstein - beloved 20th century composer, conductor and educator.

Today, we'll hear some jolly-sounding wickedness from Bernstein's 1956 operetta "Candide" - based on the philosophical novel by the French author Voltaire. The dastardly Governor of Buenos Aires, Argentina sends Candide off on a voyage - on a leaky boat!
