The Provostââ¬â¢s Writers Series highlights the extraordinary talents of USC authors. Throughout the year, Provost Elizabeth Garrett will host four evenings featuring USC faculty, who will read from and discuss their recent publications. The series will provide opportunities for students and the community to engage with USC authors, learn about the incredible diversity of their work and celebrate the written word.
Aimee Bender is a professor of English at USC. Her surreal, playful stories read like modern fairy tales. Bender finds the mythic in the mundane, illuminating contemporary life from unexpected angles. Her stories ââ¬Åintroduce the world to honest, inspiring, brutal and beautiful peopleââ¬Â (MSNBC). In a magical evening, Bender will read from her work and engage in a conversation with Brighde Mullins, director of the Master of Professional Writing Program at USC.
Bender is the author of several books, including the best-selling novel The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and the New York Times Notable Book The Girl in the Flammable Skirt. Benderââ¬â¢s latest book, The Color Master, is a collection of short stories. Her short fiction has been published in Granta, Harperââ¬â¢s, The Paris Review, McSweeneyââ¬â¢s, Tin House and other publications, as well as heard on NPRââ¬â¢s This American Life.

Talk Title: Arts Leadership: A Contemporary Vision Featuring the Kronos Quartet

Together, the Kronos Quartet and KPAA have set a striking example of arts leadership, creating extraordinary change in the field of classical music through their vision, innovation and commitment to a lifetime of growth and change. In so doing, they have redefined what is possible for hundreds of young musicians. Kronos exemplifies arts leadership at its most transformative. Join Kenneth Foster, director of the newly launched graduate Arts Leadership Program in the USC Thornton School of Music, for an interactive discussion/performance with these remarkable musicians about their history, what inspires them and how they sustain a creative vision of the future for themselves and for their field.
Organized by the USC Thornton School of Music. Co-sponsored by Classical KUSC 91.5.
