Kids Commute - Snow Week!

Brrr! It’s Snow Week on Kids Commute from Interlochen Public Radio! Winter is in full swing, complete with all the wintery weather so the Kids Commute team thought it would be fun to choose some great music to help you enjoy this winter wonderland. We’ll learn about the Snow Maiden from Russian folklore, hear music from two classic movies. We’ll also hear a piece by Florence Price that was almost lost forever, and music from a new contemporary composer, Elodie Jolette. Lots of great music to enjoy, whether you enjoy the snow or not! As you’ve come to expect, we’ll also have our Kids Commute Quizlet, so you’ll have a chance to win a Kids Commute Prize Pack if you text us the correct answer. Thanks for listening to Kids Commute from Interlochen Public Radio!
