Annie Corrigan sits down with senior jazz major and tenor saxophonist Hunter Diamond to figure out why he’s spending so much time learning how to play the flute and clarinet.
Also on the program,

We’ll speak to the director of a new documentary film about the famed Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem that’s going to be screened this week at the IU Cinema.
And a local guitarist joins forces with a string quartet to “conjure up sounds and experiences that are Latin American and Spanish and Gypsy, and really just be a bit of fun.”
