Notes from the Fires: Public School Brought Natasha and Cheech Marin to Classical Music
00:00

Today on Notes from the Fires here on Classical California John Rabe is back with Cheech and Natasha Marin. Last week, we heard how the Palisades fire - miraculously - left their house with only smoke damage. Today, John hears how both of them came to classical music through the public schools in Southern California and St Petersburg, Russia.
