b"We bring two special guests into the studio to talk about two TSO concerts: Toledo Ballet Gala Featuring Dancing Wheels, and Historias de Espa\\xf1a (Spanish Stories). Toledo Ballet's Ann Heckler talks about her teaching and her work with adaptive dance, and introduces us to the Dancing Wheels Company (which appears on the program). Also, TSO Percussionist Keith McWatters makes a return podcast appearance to talk up the Spanish Stories program, which employs an encyclopedia's worth of percussion instruments, especially in Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen Suite (based on the opera by Georges Bizet). And finally, if you're a Tango whiz, then you're in luck: exercise your Tango chops in our quiz of the day!"
