On this program, we head back to the John Waldron Arts Center to see how their fall programs are shaping as the center settles in under the new direction of Ivy Tech Community College.
Then Yael Ksander visits Bloomington’s newly renovated Fairview Elementary to learn about the schools “Artful Learning” program.
And we’ll hear from conductor Leonard Slatkin as he prepares to take the podium with the IU Philharmonic in the ensembles first concert of the school year.
