Sybarite5

From Mozart to Radiohead, this string quintet has a unique and energetic take on every piece they perform. During the interview, the group admits that a love of Radiohead is an informal requirement to be a Sybarite5 member. More about the collection of strings at sybarite5.org and find out how great they sound and how they got their name during this Alaska Live session.

Lori’s love for public broadcasting runs deep. She was raised on Car Talk, Morning Edition, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, and later while studying wildlife biology at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, she realized that if she helped answer phones during the fund drive at KMUW, she could meet and chat with the hosts of locally produced shows.
