Meet the MJ Quintet from Interlochen Arts Academy — your hosts this week for Kids Commute! Each of these musicians are playing in the upcoming Interlochen production of "The Nutcracker" taking place Dec. 12-14 at Corson Auditorium. And as brass students, they hand-picked classical music with bold fanfares and over-the-top finales.
Learn more about these students and hear them play music of Victor Ewald in IPR's Studio A podcast.
Tune in every weekday at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. to hear these special hosts and enjoy their music choices!
