An Explosion of Explosions
Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 8:00 pm
The heavens teem with explosive events, some cataclysmic and many catastrophic. During these explosions, the elements needed for life (such as iron) are produced. Dr. Kulkarni will summarize the history of cosmic explosions (from Nova Stella or new stars to movae and supermovae). The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) was designed explicitly to chart the transient sky. So far, the PTF has found a new class of ultra-luminous supernovae, luminous red novae, and calcium-rich supernovae, and a trove of interesting and exotic stars.
Shri Kulkarni is the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor of Astronomy and Planetary Science at Caltech and Director of the Caltech Optical Observatories.

Pavel Haas String Quartet
Sunday, April 22, 2012 3:30 pm
There are performances…and, then, there are performances. Performances that so stir our souls that we carry their imprint within us forever. The Pavel Haas String Quartet specializes in providing just these types of exhilarating musical experiences.
As the Berkshire Review wrote, “I was already a semi-fan before attending their short noontime concert at Wigmore Hall…but I wasn’t prepared for how powerful a sonority the Pavel Haas produces.”
The Sunday Times echoes these sentiments: “They are simply matchless today.” After the quartet won a Gramophone Award, Gramophone wrote, “[It] is thrilling now to imaginewhere this quartet can go.”
Program:
Tchaikovsky - Quartet No. 1, Op. 11
Shostakovich - Quartet No. 7, Op. 108
Schubert - Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden"
Tickets: $45.00, $38.00, $31.00, and $24.00. Youth $15.00.
