Lake Effect Weekend: Fixing MPS Achievement Gap, Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra, Ex Fabula

This weekend on Lake Effect

Milwaukee public school students suffer with a significant achievement gap, but one local group believes that focusing on academics alone won't solve the issue. Then, the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra welcomes a trio from Italy, for an ambitious concert that includes the complete Four Seasons Suite by Antonio Vivaldi. Plus, we hear some Halloween tales on the latest episode of our storytelling series Ex Fabula. 

Guests:

  • Danae Davis, executive director, Milwaukee Succeeds; Rachel Morello, WUWM education reporter
  • Carl Aonzo, Lorenzo Piccone, and Luciana Puppo, The Carlo Aonzo Trio; Katy Vanderberg, Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra
  • Leah DeLaney, Ex Fabula co-founder; Bruce Winter, WUWM
