April 23, 2012 – String quartets, piano players, creative writers and all that jazz. This week on Long Story Short, Christyana Cabal interviews Hillary Smith, a graduate student in the cello and Ambroise Aubrun, a doctoral student in the violin, from UCLA’s LaMi String Quartet. LaMi recently performed at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center for the concert series “Music at the Med,” a program designed by the UCLA Health Center and the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music for patients, family members and hospital staff to enjoy.
Then Taylor Erickson catches Stephanie Sybert, a first-year undeclared humanities student, and Devin Gunay, a first-year biology student, performing a jazz duet at the “Play Me, I’m Yours” piano in front of Royce Hall.
Afterward, we feature our first short story reading by Chris Williams, a second-year physiological science student and a member of the Writer’s Den on campus. He recites “A Light Tale,” a piece of prose about a young boy confronting his paralyzing fear of darkness and spiders.
Long Story Short streams Mondays at 6 p.m. on UCLAradio.com. Visit our broadcast archive or subscribe to our podcast.
