From our friends at the LA Phil! Dive deep into the worlds of Shostakovich and Sibelius to explore majestic melodies and musical twists and turns this weekend, April 17-19: https://t.co/8YxrlOTw5H

[LA Phil @LAPhil]

Shostakovich's Second Cello Concerto "begins in a dark, introverted mood reminiscent of Berg, pits the cello in a pummelling one-to-one exchange with an intimidating bass drum, and concludes with an exhausted passage of ticks and drones as if an over-wound cuckoo clock has finally exploded. It takes an exceptionally responsive cellist to make sense of it all, and Alisa Weilerstein proved herself to be one of the few who can" ("Bachtrack").

See Weilerstein tackling this impressive piece with conductor Ryan Bancroft and the Los Angeles Philharmonic from April 17 to 19! Read more about Weilerstein below and pick up your tickets today at https://t.co/uspr3vOWLN.

Naomi Rodriguez @NHMLA uses integrative taxonomy to better ID marine isopods—tiny but vital players in marine ecosystems—tackling the challenge of consistent species IDs for this group. She also made a zine to bring isopods to life!

Did you know there are over 100,000 mollusk species, but most don’t have names? 🐚

Dr. Jann Vendetti, a molluscan expert at the @NHMLA, is working to describe the many species we’ve yet to catalog. Her research is a powerful reminder that some of Earth’s greatest mysteries might still be right beneath our feet.
