This week on Kids Commute, we're going to the ballet!
We'll learn the story and hear the music of Spanish composer Manuel de Falla's lighthearted ballet, "The Tri-Cornered Hat!"
We'll have a tri-cornered Quizlet for you, too.
Tune in to Classical IPR Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m. or listen any time at the links.
