On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek is highlighting the intersection of arts & commerce. He’ll catch up with a local jazz musician who started her own business after the pandemic changed everything. The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review a new one-women play that’s generating a lot of discussion. Later in the show, Gary visits a Wheaton music academy that offers privates lessons to kids through people in their 80s. And he’ll highlight a new west suburban store that offers records and beer.
