Take a musical flight with brooms, clarinets, cannons, rockets, ornithopters and more.

This Saturday is our big Kids Commute live concert at Interlochen Center for the Arts!

This year's concert theme is "flight," and that's the theme of this week's show, too.

We'll take to the skies with composers Eric Whitacre, Jacques Offenbach, Bill Conti, Julie Giroux and Stephen Schwartz to hear all kinds of different music about flying.

We've got a spectacular space sports quizlet lined up for you, too!

Listen Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. or any time on demand.
