If you're a chamber music fan and you find Wigmore, Alice Tully and Carnegie halls not nearly exclusive enough, consider UCLA's Clark Library. Since 1994, the beloved rare-book library in Los Angeles' West Adams district has featured the same talent as the best-known music halls in the world, in the kind of intimate setting for which chamber music was conceived. All Chamber Music at the Clark concerts are presented in a sumptuous, acoustically superlative 100-seat drawing room — just like L.A. Philharmonic founder William Andrews Clark Jr. wanted it.

Future rocket scientists aren’t the only ones that need a good foundation in science and math. In today’s world, all students do -- but nearly two-thirds of 18 year-olds are showing up for college or career unprepared. Astronaut and UCSD physics professor Sally Ride describes her own path into the space program, and discusses the need to improve science and math education for all students -- not just future rocket scientists.
