Beyond the Lab episodes
- Beyond the Lab Episode 1 - Between Chaos and Order: Music, Art and the Courage to Commission
Dr. Angela Kim started piano at age 3, moved to the U.S. alone at 15, and has since become one of the most adventurous voices in contemporary classical music. In this episode, she talks about growing up in Korea, the moment music became more than sound, why she's dedicated her career to commissioning work by composers who've been left out of the classical canon, and what it means to turn chaos into art.

About Beyond the Lab
From the publisher's feed
Beyond the Lab is a podcast from SIUE’s Graduate School and Office of Research that takes listeners inside the scholarly work happening across campus — not just what researchers study, but…
the human story behind why they study it.
Each episode, Dean Chris Slaten and Dr. Liz Cali sit down with one faculty member or research team for a 30 to 45 minute conversation that covers three things: the work itself, explained accessibly for any curious listener; the personal journey that led the researcher there; and the broader question of what the research means for the world beyond the university.
Guests span every corner of SIUE — from a pianist documenting composers who have been left out of the classical canon, to a neuroscientist studying fruit flies to understand autism, to an engineer teaching machines to read medical scans. The unifying thread is a belief that research is not something that happens in isolation. It is driven by people, shaped by curiosity, and connected to questions that belong to all of us.
