Welcome to the first in a new series of podcasts from the Lied Center of Kansas and Kansas Public Radio. In this edition, KPR’s Rachel Hunter speaks with Neal Conan, host of NPR’s Talk of the Nation, and Carolyn Surrick, founder and violist for Ensemble Galilei. Conan and the Ensemble will appear at the Lied Center on Saturday, Sept. 13 to perform “First Person: Stories from the edge of the world,” a multimedia production that combines the ensemble’s music with stunning photographs from the archives of National Geographic as Conan reads from the writings of explorers such as Jacques Cousteau and George Mallory.
