In this week’s episode, Tom talks with Music Educator Katie Traxler and Mae Miller, ACO Director of Education and the inspiration, twenty-three years ago, for Tom to create ACO’s Classical Music for Kids. The three discuss kids’ enthusiastic reaction to CMK school visits; Katie has welcomed CMK to her school for eleven years. They also discuss children’s visceral reactions, a CMK favorite, Peter and the Wolf, and ACO’s upcoming film of the work, which adds to the cast of musicians and two professional mimes.

Note: the film will be featured on the PBS Learning Channel – allowing children around the world to enjoy and be inspired by this great Prokofiev children’s classic.
