It's the final week of Kids Commute for 2024, but don’t worry — we’ll be back in 2025 with even more music and stories just for you! See you in the new year!
During this 2024-25 season, we're inviting young listeners from preschool through high school to join us as hosts for this musical experience.
Each weekday, we feature a different guest host and showcase classical music selected by kids and teens from our community. Explore the fun details and get involved as a host now!
Tune in every weekday at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. to hear these special hosts and enjoy their music choices!
